Murder & Mummies (Cryptic Cove Cozy Mystery Series Book 4)

By: Patti Ann Stafford

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This book was originally released under another pen name. I’m excited to share it again—now published as Patti Ann Stafford.

This book is still fun and quirky, but it does dip a wee bit darker than previous books in the series as we dive into Lexi’s family history…


Lexi Danforth has always known her family holds dark secrets, but when she uncovers an ancient box buried in the garden at the old estate and hears whispers of cursed books hidden in the library, she can’t resist digging deeper.

Her search leads her to the enigmatic Old Kate, a mysterious figure who lives at the mining camp, and warns her of spirits bound by ancient rituals and a blood curse tied to her ancestors.

But Old Kate’s cryptic revelations only raise more questions—about a secret room, an elixir of immortality, and a past that refuses to stay buried.

As Lexi delves into her family’s twisted history, she faces a chilling choice: leave the past undisturbed or risk unleashing horrors that could destroy everything she holds dear. Secrets have a way of demanding to be uncovered, but some are better left in the shadows.
