Mummy Dearest: Cozy in Karnak

by Heloise Hull, Spicy Cozy Mysteries

Living at home can be complicated, especially when your recently estranged mom comes back into town—and she brings fifty of her closest friends.

When Hattie’s mom arrives in Karnak in a swirl of black magic, Hattie is no longer public enemy number one. Unfortunately for Hattie, it’s because her recently incarcerated mother is.
When a woman who claims she was a reincarnated Nefertiti turns up dead before the end of the year's grand triumphal parade and festival, Hattie will have to prove her mom’s innocence or risk exposing Karnak when reporters descend upon the town.

About the author

Unlike her namesake of medieval infamy, Heloise doesn’t intend to have her midlife crisis in a nunnery. She’d rather drink 🍸 and chant in 🧚🏼‍♀️ rings. Born with Mississippi mud in her veins, grown "Via Chicago." Written before coffee.

Hattie dreams of being accepted

But instead her dreams of her mother returning come true. Is Karnak ready for more magic and do the people still want to blame Hattie?

Plus why does the one man she has true tingles for when they touch seem to be happy and in love with another.

Love visiting the town of Karnak and it’s Egyptian inspired magical mayhem
