Muffalettas and Murder: Book 1 of the Small Town Girl Mysteries

Welcome to Graisseville, Louisiana—where small-town charm hides big secrets.

Evangeline Delafose thought she left the drama behind when she returned to her quiet hometown. But when her brother Nate ropes her into solving a local murder, Ev discovers that boring is the last word she’d use to describe Graisseville.

Armed with wit, determination, and a fierce love for her quirky Southern community, Ev dives headfirst into a tangle of clues, colorful neighbors, and unexpected twists. With a little help from family, friends, and her own stubborn streak, she’s determined to prove one thing—she’s still got it.

• A touch of slow-burning romance

• Twists, turns, and laugh-out-loud moments

• No profanity, graphic content, or steamy scenes
