Edgar Pike has been haunting the cottage on Wicker Close since 1892. He rearranges the crockery, rotates the ceramic owl, and maintains the building's ancient magical wards with the fussy dedication of a Victorian surveyor who takes his afterlife very seriously. He and Ivy are just learning to coexist when the village archivist drops dead at the autumn market, and Ivy finds a silver charm in the grass that shouldn't be there.
The charm is a weapon. The death wasn't natural. And the secrets buried beneath Moonhaven's picturesque green could tear the town apart.
Armed with her great-aunt's coded notebooks, a sourdough starter named Gerald, and the spectral assistance of a ghost who can manage about three words on a good day, Ivy must unravel a web of altered records, dormant property rights, and centuries-old family feuds, before the killer comes for the evidence she doesn't yet know she's holding.
Moonlit Motive is the first book in The Moonlight Hollow Mysteries, a paranormal cozy mystery series featuring a baker with an unexpected gift, a ghost with opinions, and a village with more secrets than it has residents.
Perfect for fans of: Juliet Blackwell, Amanda Flower, Bailey Cates, Darynda Jones, and Jenn McKinlay.
