A charming Savannah mystery featuring a relatable, later-in-life protagonist, plenty of Southern charm, and a soft, satisfying puzzle. Ideal for fans of cozy reads with heart, humour, and hope.
A missing baby. A buried secret. And an FBI cold case--definitely not what the Savannah Sleuths expected in retirement.
When a hurricane topples an oak in Savannah's Forsyth Park, Emma Lynn Whitmore and her lifelong friend Graham Boone uncover a weather-beaten diaper bag tangled in the roots. Inside are baby clothes, a stuffed toy, and a mystery that has haunted the city for three years--the unsolved Prescott kidnapping.
Emma Lynn has no desire to clash with federal agents, but Savannah has a way of pulling her into puzzles she can't ignore. With Margaret's bossy determination, Graham's quirky charm, and Wren--Graham's brilliant niece, whose tech skills uncover digital trails no one else can see--the Sleuths are drawn into a web of family secrets, Savannah scandals, and lies weathered but not washed away.
Can three retirees and one sharp-eyed teenager solve the case the FBI left behind--or will the past reach forward to claim them too?
Beside the Hollow Oak is a witty and heartwarming Southern cozy mystery filled with friendship, small-town suspense, and just enough intrigue to keep you turning the pages. Perfect for fans of Ellery Adams, Vicki Delany, and Ann Ross.
