Pageants and Poisons
(2024)(The first book in the Pageants for Posey Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Laura Marie Altom
Pageants, poison, and...possibly prison? My return to small town Fern Springs will either end in true love or death!
Returning to Fern Springs, Oklahoma, wasn't a nostalgic homecoming, but making good on a bittersweet promise to handle my late grandmother's affairs. Topping my list? Closing her beloved pageant shop. Things take a messy turn, though, when I cross paths with Cowboy Luke and his spunky daughter, Posey, whose own dreams of pageantry met an abrupt end with my gammy's passing.
Little did I know that Beulah's Pageant Parlour holds more than frilly dresses and crowns. Creepy thugs come out of the woodwork, intent on uncovering age-old secrets. When an obscene amount of money is found, Wolf--the criminally hot sheriff and my old high school crush--places me and Luke under house arrest.
Stuck together in close quarters, I grow a little too fond of my new life alongside Luke and Posey. But the more we start feeling like a family, the more I realize they're in danger being close to me. Do I have the courage to cut ties in order to protect them? Or do I stay and fight, ignoring the fact that in the process, we may all die?
If the heart-pounding, yet quirky thrills of Molly Fitz and Jasmine Webb keep you reading past your bedtime, stay up late tonight with PAGEANTS and POISONS!
