Synopsis

A mysterious illness has the town on edge. And panic is spreading faster than gossip.

When a young woman collapses at a local gathering and a mysterious illness starts sweeping through Magnolia Grove, the official explanations don’t add up. Not to Parker Hayes—and certainly not to the Garden Club, which is already sounding the alarm.

As rumors multiply and paranoia turns neighbor against neighbor, Parker starts pulling at threads some people would rather keep tangled. But the more answers she finds, the deeper the confusion grows, and the rising fear makes it harder to see the truth clearly.

With Whit by her side and Major never far behind, Parker digs into a case tangled with suspicion, secrets and a town spiraling toward chaos. If she can’t uncover the truth fast, Magnolia Grove’s latest mystery may tear the whole community apart.

In Magnolia Grove, gossip can turn into a pour of panic.

A Pour of Panic is a humorous cozy mystery with coffee shop charm, small-town secrets and a sharp amateur sleuth with a true-crime past.

Perfect for fans of Cleo Coyle, Ellie Alexander and Tonya Kappes.

All books in the series can be read as standalones.

Welcome to Magnolia Grove, where the coffee is hot, the gossip is fresh and every visit feels a little like coming home.
