    A Minerva Biggs Mystery Series

    About this series

    Wedding bells are ringing for Minerva Biggs, but they hit a sour note when an heirloom music box vanishes on her watch. What's a girl to do when Something Borrowed becomes Something Stolen?

    For Minerva, the answer can always be found in Something Old. The siren song of yesteryear leads her to an impossible photograph of both the music box and one of the suspects—years before either is supposed to exist. Past and present seem to have fallen out of time, and the mysteries are multiplying with every beat.

    The groom's ex-girlfriend is sabotaging, the bride's grandmother is scolding, the ring bearer is slobbering, and now the maid of honor is swearing there's time travel afoot. Can Minerva restore harmony and walk down the aisle on a high note? Or will her wedding march become a funeral dirge?

      Delighted by the promise of living and working in a glittering Gilded Age mansion, Minerva Biggs moves to idyllic Bryd Hollow, North Carolina with her dog Plantagenet. She's looking for a new beginning; what she finds is five quite possibly deranged people, four French bulldogs, two distracting dimples attached to one inconvenient man … and one murder. Nope, make that two murders. When Minerva makes a connection between her new employer's fatal fall and the death of his celebrated great-grandfather in the same spot more than a century before, she doubts that either was an accident. Delving into old secrets and new grudges, she begins to unravel the twisted threads that bind past to present. Right up until she tangles them around the wrong guy. Oops. With a trial looming, a scandal raging, and her job prospects dwindling, Minerva races to solve both crimes. Preferably before her new beginning comes to an unfortunate end.

      When Minerva identifies a murder weapon as a priceless sixteenth-century artifact, she's sure her eyes must be deceiving her. Even by Bryd Hollow standards, five hundred years seems like an absurd amount of time to hold a grudge. The knife can't possibly be real. Can it? Each bizarre secret she uncovers leaves Minerva more determined to get to the bottom of the blade's origins. But the deeper she digs, the more she angers and alienates her new friends. And the police. And possibly a few unsavory criminals. With nobody left on her side except her dog (and even he's getting a little mad), Minerva will have to risk everything to reveal the truth and unmask a killer. Her almost perfect new life might just depend on it.

      Flapper dresses, sidecar cocktails, and jazz: what more could a girl and her dog want? Minerva is thrilled at the chance to spend a week at the resort, managing a Gatsby-themed role-play event—and chilled when one of the players turns up dead. With a killer on the loose, everyone from the police chief to her overprotective boyfriend wants her to back off and go home. But Minerva can never resist the call of the past. When she hears the haunting echoes of not one but two long-forgotten crimes, she's more determined than ever not to abandon her guests. Unfortunately for her, someone else has joined the effort to discourage interference. And unlike the others, the murderer is not asking nicely.

      Minerva figured an old, wealthy family like the Bairds would have a few skeletons in the closet. She just didn't expect the tree guy to dig one of them up. But when the century-old remains of a mysterious Baird relation are found on the grounds of the family's famous estate, Minerva is eager to once again delve into history and unearth the truth. Until the murdered woman's granddaughter comes to Tybryd, and winds up murdered herself. Now the deeper Minerva digs into the past, the more dangerous the present becomes. And the more bizarre. As she and her indomitable dog Plantagenet sift through the secrets buried with those bones, they dredge up arcane treasures, enigmatic maids, the Titanic, and … witchcraft? Impenetrable as the terrain may seem, Minerva will have to uncover the pieces of two women's lives, broken and buried more than a hundred years apart. Because if she can't, she might just end up six feet under.
