Synopsis

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ODD COUPLE and THE GOLDEN GIRLS MIX IT UP? MEET MADDIE AND MAGGIE!

Christian author VJ Dunn brings you two well-seasoned ladies who couldn’t be any different if they’d come from opposing planets. The stories are full of fun, friendship, faith and just a smidge of fear!

Crown Hill breathes a sigh of relief once the Fishhook Killer is captured. But when yet another body is found and the police fail to find the murderer, will Maddie and Maggie be able to solve the crime?

Joining the ladies is Robert, Maddie's long-time friend and newly commissioned boyfriend... or is that manfriend? (Maddie secretly calls him her "old man"), along with trusty dog Wally Wonka and even the feisty feline Samuel Adams, as they wade through a murky puddle of clues that all seem to point to one very surprising suspect...

While Maddie relies on logic to work on solving the crime, Maggie uses her southern charm to wile information out of everyone who walks into her new bakery, gathering intel faster than a fall squirrel collecting nuts. Add in Robert's police connections to the mix and they have a recipe for a great "whodonut!" (Doughnut, get it? Huh?)

Bad dad jokes aside, things don't go exactly as planned when they decide to confront their prime suspect but discover that crime-solving isn't as easy as pie after all.

And sometimes it can be downright sticky.


Join Maddie and Maggie as they stumble their way through yet another investigation in The Church Lady Mysteries! Missteps, misdirection and misleading abound, but with Maddie’s muleheaded stubbornness—and Maggie’s southern charm—will the ladies find their investigative mojo and stop the killer?
