Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy cosy mysteries with a supernatural twist and don't mind when the fantastical sits comfortably alongside the mundane.
  • You appreciate Southern settings and characters who feel rooted in actual communities, not just stock types.
  • You like series where the relationships between characters deepen across books, and you're already invested in Minda and Augusta's partnership.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want high-stakes procedural realism or hard-boiled detective work, because this leans firmly into the lighter, character-driven mystery tradition.
  • You're sceptical of angels and the paranormal, even when they're treated warmly and with humour.
  • You prefer standalone mysteries over series, or you're not keen on starting partway through an established arc.

About this book

After her husband's sudden death, Minda Hobbs returns to Angel Heights, S.C., seeking peace and purpose. Instead, she discovers her cousin Otto dead in the ladies' room at the historic Minerva Academy. Grieving and shocked, Minda is visited by her guardian angel, Augusta Goodnight, who appears shimmering with church window radiance and smelling of strawberry jam. Augusta has come on a double mission: to help Minda solve Otto's murder and to complete unfinished business from an assignment in 1916. Minda's only lead is a small gold pin found in a Minerva Academy bathroom stall, connected to a secret society called the Mystic Six. Together, Minda and Augusta trace the descendants of this club, following clues that involve a special quilt and lead toward the truth about Otto's death.
