Publisher Description

Spring has sprung and New Orleans is serving mint juleps with a side of murder… Midnight House is fully booked with guests attending the glamorous Magnolia Heritage Gala at Belle Rêve Manor. It promises to be an evening filled with Southern charm, historic splendor, and plenty of champagne-fueled gossip.

But when prominent preservationist Evelyn Carrington collapses beneath a blooming magnolia tree, the society soirée turns sinister.

A legacy member of the organization, the position inherited from her great-aunt Odette, Harper Bergeron is on hand immediately to step in and solve the murder. Or poke her nose precisely where it doesn’t belong, according to her friend and neighbor Detective Hollis Broussard.

As whispers swirl, suspicion settles on the guests of Midnight House, each of them having a reason to want Evelyn silenced.

With Harper’s podcasting best friend digging for interviews, and Teddy the skunk sniffing out trouble (or just mint leaves), Harper must untangle pride, ambition, and long-buried mistakes before spring’s most elegant celebration becomes a permanent scandal.

Because in New Orleans, the spirits keep flowing even when the dead stop talking…
