When a ghost haunts your kitchen, you’d better be ready to stir the pot.

I thought judging Thornhollow’s Southern Spirits Cook-Off would mean a weekend of casseroles, community spirit, and a few tall tales about haunted grannies and secret family recipes. I didn’t expect a famous food blogger to drop dead after tasting my friend’s cornbread casserole. And I definitely didn’t expect to stumble across a skeleton in my attic—let alone the ghost that came with it.

Turns out a once-famous local chef, whose mysterious disappearance decades ago has become the stuff of Thornhollow folklore, has been trapped there. Now, her ghost has taken up residence in my kitchen—rearranging spice racks, leaving floury clues on the floor, and demanding I solve the mystery of her death or she’ll haunt my kitchen for eternity.

With a poisoned casserole, a tin of recipes, hexes, and blessings, and a whole lot of Southern secrets bubbling to the surface, I’ve got my hands full—and a murderer in Thornhollow would rather I leave the past buried.

If you love your mysteries served with a side of Southern sass, ghostly meddling, and mouthwatering recipes (yes, there are recipes included), grab your apron and join Ava in the kitchen. Skeletons & Scandals is a cozy mystery packed with charm, chills, and a whole lot of heart.
