PI Savannah Reid and the Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency may have bitten off more than they can chew when a Hollywood legend makes a deadly comeback...It will be a cold day in San Carmelita before Savannah skips over a high-profile homicide case, especially one attached to a tasty reward. But when 90-year-old former silver screen siren Lucinda Faraday is murdered inside her derelict mansion, serving justice comes with unsavory risks. The fallen star, considered one of the most beautiful women of her time, was found strangled by a pair of vintage stockings. Now, Lucinda is making headlines again--and, like in the past, her name is connected with the worst kind of scandal . . .As a quest for answers reveals sleazy secrets about the victim's history, the Moonlight Magnolia Agency soon discover that corruption, addiction, and blackmail were as rampant in the good old days of Hollywood as in the present--maybe even more so. Balancing a suspect list longer than Lucinda's acting credits and evidence that could destroy the reputation of people still alive, can Savannah outsmart the culprit before she or someone else get reduced to tabloid fodder next?

G.A. McKevett returns with the second installment of her new mystery series, a spin off of her popular Savannah Reid series, set thirty years in the past--the 1980s!--in the small Georgia town that Savannah grew up in, with her beloved--and MUCH younger--Granny Reid as the sleuth!The roots of the Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency reach back to the 1980s in the little town of McGill, Georgia--where Stella Reid and her seven grandkids enjoy some spooky Halloween fun and stumble into murder...It doesn''t take cash, just some good old fashioned creativity, to turn a pillowcase into a ghost costume or a trashcan into a suit of armor. So even if she has to stick to a budget, Stella Reid always makes holidays like Halloween memorable for twelve year old Savannah and the rest of her grandchildren.After joining the other townspeople for trick or treating and the annual parade down Main Street, Granny Reid and the kids head to Judge Patterson''s antebellum mansion, where a corn maze awaits. Most of the youngsters are too terrified to make it all the way to the middle. It''s lucky for them, because when Savannah and Granny get there, it proves to be even scarier than they expected--half buried in the mud at the center of the maze lies a human skull. The grisly discovery uncovers a mystery that stretches back decades--and seems to be related to the long unsolved murder of Granny Reid''s own part Cherokee mother. After all this time, the culprit may be long gone... or still hiding among them. It''ll be up to Granny to dig into this Southern town''s history and a mess of old family secrets...
