Death Beneath the Blossoms. A Maddie Brooke Mystery, #3

Welcome to the Magnolia Blossom Inn, where sweet tea, southern charm, and deep-rooted secrets collide. Maddie Brooke thought inheriting her grandmother's historic southern bed and breakfast inn would be a peaceful endeavor. But when a 75 year old skeleton is uncovered under a cherry tree, old family secrets are dug up too. Could the skeleton's identity be her grandmother's former beau? The shocking culprits will lead to an upheaval within the town of Clarkstown.
As if a skeleton isn't enough to disrupt the gay Easter egg hunt, a man is found stabbed in the cherry orchard at the conclusion of a spring celebration luncheon. Tom reveals his military and Iraq wartime experiences and the shocking connection to the stabbed man, surprising Maddie with his secret past. Friendly fire in the death of a soldier, PTSD, and stolen Iraqi gold add to the complex tale. With the help of her ghostly grandmother, a wise-cracking Southern belle only Maddie and a few close friends can see, Maddie must navigate a cast of suspicious veterans, undercover investigators, and a brooding Yankee detective who's far too used to her meddling ways, plus his cute new partner, Lucas Wampler, to untangle a web of secrets and murderous threats.
Maddie will need more than southern hospitality to solve this case in Death Beneath the Blossoms.
