Ghosted in the Graveyard

Inheriting a haunted cemetery wasn't on Magnolia Thorne's bingo card for her fresh start in small-town Louisiana.
When her eccentric great-aunt leaves her the Moonlit Mausoleum Cemetery—complete with a sentient cottage that broadcasts her emotions in Technicolor and a bad-tempered alligator with a marshmallow addiction—Magnolia thinks her biggest challenge will be mastering a lawn mower. She's wrong.

Dead wrong.
The cemetery is restless. Whispers drift from bootlegger tunnels beneath the grounds, and on the full moon, a devastatingly handsome ghost materializes in her kitchen with a century-old chip on his shoulder. Declan Gallagher, Prohibition-era bootlegger and certified grump, was murdered in 1927—and he's convinced Magnolia is his last chance at justice.

The problem? Everyone's been blaming the wrong killer for a hundred years.
As Magnolia digs into the past, she uncovers a conspiracy that reaches into Gravesend's most respected families. But someone in the present is desperate to keep history buried, and they'll do whatever it takes to stop a nosy cemetery keeper from disturbing the dead. With Sheriff Boone threatening to shut her down, the town's gossip brigade questioning her sanity, and Declan's spectral form literally coming apart at the seams, Magnolia must solve a murder, save her ghost, and somehow convince her rescue alligator that municipal property destruction is not the answer to every problem.

In Gravesend, Louisiana, the dead don't rest easy—and neither will you.

A delightfully spooky Southern Gothic tale where the sweet tea is cold, the casseroles are sacred, and true love might just transcend death itself.
