The Case of the Deadly Dinner

A Maggie Malone Mystery

What if an amateur sleuth possessed an enchanted amulet?

In the bustling kitchens of Longfellow Hall, young Maggie Malone works hard to stay out of trouble with the grumpy head cook.

As Maggie is drawn deeper into the web of secrets and lies that entangle the guests, she must use her newfound abilities to uncover the truth. But with each step closer to the killer, the risk grows, and Maggie soon realizes that even magic might not be enough to save her.

Can a lowly kitchen maid outsmart a devious and intelligent murderer, bringing justice to the undeserving victim? Or will the killer succeed in keeping Maggie quiet…forever?
