Nancy Martin recommends
thumb
Last Call (2018)
(Maggie Lewis Mystery, book 1)
Paula Matter
"Raise your glass to Paula Matter for creating Maggie, a positively intoxicating bartender in North DeSoto, Florida. Take one heart of gold, pour in a jigger of observant, add a splash of smart-mouthy, and you have a new detective worth savoring."
thumb
Bel of the Brawl (2017)
(Belfast McGrath Mystery, book 2)
Maggie McConnon
"Don't wait until St Patrick's Day to read this delicious mystery!."
thumb
Plantation Shudders (2015)
(Cajun Country Mysteries, book 1)
Ellen Byron
"When love goes wrong, aspiring artist Maggie Crozat heads back to the bayou to become a modern-day belle with a mission to keep the family's historic plantation financially afloat. A jambalaya of colorful friends and relatives, plus scrumptious Cajun cooking and a basset hound named Gopher make Pelican, Louisiana as southern as good manners and Spanish Moss. But before long, there's murder under the magnolias, and Maggie must spring into action. I love a mystery that's a gumbo of wit, charm, and plenty of heart. Laissez les bons temps rouler!"
