Beyond the Shadows (Savannah Sleuths, #1)

They solved a murder before prom—now they’re retired, nosy as ever, and dead set on cracking one last case before someone signs them up for chair yoga and a senior discount.

When Emma Lynn Whitmore returns to her childhood home in Savannah after losing her husband, she expects peace, maybe a little porch-sitting—not a fifty-year-old mystery clawing its way out of the attic. A faded photograph, a broken promise, and a name no one’s dared mention in decades all point to one Delilah didn’t run away. She vanished.

Teaming up with her old high school partners-in-crime-solving—sharp-tongued Margaret and quietly brilliant Graham—Emma Lynn dives headfirst into a Southern tangle of missing land deeds, whispered family names, and secrets buried deeper than a Lowcountry grave.

Armed with charm, determination, and a collective disregard for their doctor’s advice, the trio sets out to finish what Delilah started—no matter who’s still trying to keep it buried.

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with heart, Southern sass, and sleuths who’ve traded curfews for reading glasses—but haven’t lost their taste for trouble.
