Murder on the Magnolia Quilt: Picnic & Peculiar Mysteries

Retirement was supposed to be quiet—until someone died on John Ivy’s picnic blanket.

Welcome to Ivy Ridge Estates, where the lawns are manicured, the residents are wealthy, and murder is definitely not on the brochure.

John Ivy is a retired FBI agent who just wants a peaceful picnic and a decent slice of pie. Instead, he finds himself knee-deep in secrets when a fellow resident dies under suspicious circumstances—right on his favorite quilt.

With his children trying to keep him out of trouble and a community full of eccentric millionaires, John must decide whether retirement truly means letting go… or simply solving crimes at a slower pace.

Cozy, clever, and laugh-out-loud funny, Murder on the Magnolia Quilt is the perfect start to a mystery series where age is an advantage—and curiosity is deadly.
