Tulips and Tombstones (Elsie Hargrove Mysteries Book 6)
About
Death blooms where greed takes root.
When a decades-old skeleton is unearthed during the opening of the Cascade Bay Tulip Festival, the annual celebration turns into an excavation of the town’s darkest secrets.
Working alongside Detective Jack Goodman — their relationship blooming despite the case’s thorny complications — Elsie digs through layers of small-town history and discovers that Cascade Bay’s reputation as a peaceful haven was carefully manufactured. Someone powerful has been protecting this secret for decades, and the body in the tulip field is just the beginning of what they’ve buried.
In a town where the past is never as deep as you think, solving this murder isn’t just about justice — it’s about whether Cascade Bay can survive the truth about itself.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with international flair and a dash of feistiness, “Tulips and Tombstones” delivers Claire Blackwood’s signature blend of small-town charm, daring escapades, and the complex chemistry between Elsie and Jack that readers have come to love.
