A wedding celebration. A family with secrets. And a murder that thoroughly spoils the party.
Maiden Harlow’s favorite aunt is getting married... again. The optimistic bride is eager for the ceremony, and so is Maiden, until the groom's family arrives. What had promised to be a lovely second-chance romance quickly becomes tangled in old grudges, dirty secrets, and a fortune worth killing for.
With the wedding guests suddenly becoming suspects—including Aunt Bella—Maiden can't ignore the details others miss. Every whispered conversation, every suspicious glance, and every forgotten piece of information brings her closer to a truth someone desperately wants to keep hidden.
David really needs Maiden to stay out of the investigation this time. Not only has their relationship started to deepen, but she’s related to the main suspects. But when the people she loves are at risk, Maiden can’t help getting dragged in.
Maiden of Honor is the fourth book in the Maiden Harlow Mysteries, a fun dark cozy mystery series featuring an innkeeper with an extraordinary memory, an experienced detective, small-town secrets, slow-burn romance, and twist-filled whodunits.
Perfect for fans of amateur sleuths, wedding mysteries, family secrets, small-town settings, and cozy mysteries with bite.
I write dark cozy mysteries full of secrets, atmosphere, and heroines who are smart, sexy, and stronger than they realize. I’ve been crafting stories since childhood, starting with notebooks, moving to a brick‑like laptop, and eventually finding my voice in twisty mysteries with heart.
My books blend suspense, romance, friendship, and the messy beauty of family. I believe stories are escape hatches—small, powerful worlds we can slip into when reality gets too loud.
If you love cozies with shadows, heat, and emotional depth, I’d love to welcome you into my fictional worlds.
Took me forever to read this one. Was slow for the first 15 chapters I’d say, but was super pleased with the progress between Maiden & David’s relationship. Good ending, looking forward to book 5.
