Paranormal Cozy Mysteries Set in the Ozarks

Maple Crowder's life fell apart in record time. In one miserable week she lost her job, her apartment, and her fiancé—so she did the only thing left to do. She went home to Pea Ridge, Arkansas, to her late grandmother's nursery, a one-eyed tomcat who clearly outranks her, and a green-witch gift she'd spent her whole life pretending she didn't have.
She figured the hard part would be learning to run the nursery. She figured wrong.

A year in, Maple Crowder has almost gotten the hang of it—the nursery, the green-witch gift she quit pretending she doesn't have, and a one-eyed tomcat who still outranks her. Then Heritage Days rolls into Pea Ridge, and so does Sterling Mabry, the smooth-talking host of a ghost-hunting TV show who wants to point his cameras at the one place he's been told he can't: the old battlefield ground above the Crowder line, where even Maple doesn't go. She warns him off.

The cat won't come inside. The garden is trying to warn her. And someone has moved stones that should have been left alone.

Autumn in Pea Ridge should mean apple butter, sharp elbows at the Harvest Bake-Off, and getting the nursery ready for winter. Maple Crowder has enough to do without her one-eyed cat keeping watch on the ridge. But Sprig doesn't ignore breakfast without a reason.

Rowan Bell came home to bury her grandmother. She didn't expect to inherit a ghost.

Two weeks into grief, Rowan is still avoiding the shop's CLOSED sign — and still avoiding the one truth she can't explain to anyone in Eureka Springs, Arkansas: she can hear the dead, and they haven't stopped talking.

Rowan Bell finally reopened her grandmother's shop. She did not expect to find a body in the greenhouse behind it.

Victor Langley — developer, buyer of half the town's old buildings, and a man with no shortage of enemies — is dead among the moonflowers, killed with the one knife in Eureka Springs, Arkansas that everyone knows belongs to Rowan's family.
