An introverted fairy, a secret society of undertakers, and a talking cat—what a deadly combination!

In the Mistbrook Manor Funeral Home, Lyra Moore prefers the company of the dead to the living. As a fairy in hiding and the town’s funeral director, she’s perfected the art of staying out of the spotlight—until an unclaimed body appears on her doorstep under mysterious circumstances. No one knows who the victim is or how he died, but Lyra is determined to leave the case to the authorities. She does not need any more strangers knocking on her door, at least not breathing ones.

When life gives you mysteries, add a little magic and stir.

When funeral home director and secret sleuth Lyra Moore gets a mysterious call from a hidden society of undertakers—her peaceful life of tending roses and evading dark fae princes takes a dramatic turn.

Lyra Moore has spent years keeping a low profile in Orchard Hollow. Sure, she’s a fairy, but she much prefers running the Mistbrook Manor Funeral Home to getting tangled up in magic. Unfortunately, trouble seems to have a way of finding her—especially when it involves the dearly departed.

When a retired librarian is found strangled with silk yarn in the middle of the local crochet club’s weekly meeting, everyone is quick to call it a tragic accident. But Lyra’s gut tells her otherwise, and her cursed, talking cat Theo (who has far too many opinions) agrees. The victim had just uncovered a long-lost crochet pattern rumored to hold a valuable secret—and it seems someone was willing to kill to get their hands on it.
