Some masks hide secrets. This one hides a murder.
When a silver mask turns deadly at Cedarvale’s charity ball, jewelry artisan Maggie Bellamy smells magic — and murder. The sheriff calls it a heart attack. Maggie, her sassy cat Pippa, and mischievous dog Topaz know better.
The deeper Maggie digs, the messier it gets: cursed heirlooms, society scandals, and a sheriff who seems too eager to shut her down. With the town whispering and danger closing in, she’ll need every charm — magical or not — to catch a killer.
Secrets shimmer, lies glitter, and nothing is what it seems.
Hello from the cozy corners of my imagination! If we were meeting in person, you'd probably find me offering you a slice of cake, extra frosting, because life's too short!
I craft twisty tales with quirky characters, picturesque small towns, and enough red herrings to stock a fish market. My stories blend mystery and mirth, with a dash of romance and plenty of fur-baby shenanigans.
If you like your murders with giggles, sleuths with razor-sharp wit, and surprising plot twists—dive into one of my books. Warning: may cause cravings for homemade cookies and the urge to adopt a mischievous pet.View all by Sue Hollowell
