The Mandevillian Paranormal Cozy Mystery Series
Discover the mysteries of Ashlyn and Deri in a cozy series set in Mandeville, Louisiana.
When heirlooms vanish and old houses begin whispering, artist Ashlyn Tenley discovers that returning home to Mandeville, Louisiana may not be the quiet fresh start she expected.
Ashlyn’s inheritance includes a weathered Victorian house near Lake Pontchartrain, a stack of unfinished paintings, and a calico cat named Deri who notices things before anyone else does.
But when a cherished silver locket disappears from her friend Charmaine’s jewelry box—and blackmail letters begin arriving—Ashlyn finds herself drawn into her first small-town mystery.
With Deri’s uncanny instincts and the cryptic guidance of the enigmatic Mr. Harrow, Ashlyn begins uncovering secrets hidden beneath the town’s quiet surface.
Some mysteries refuse to stay buried.
