#1 - Too Many Crooks Spoil the Plot
Pediatrician Mabel Aphrodite Brown adores kids. So when a childhood friend asks Ditie to babysit her kids for a few days, she jumps at the chance. She never imagined she'd be solving a murder too . . .

Despite growing up together, Ditie hasn't seen Ellie Winston in two years, and she didn't even know Ellie was living in Atlanta. But when Ellie asks her to take care of Lucie and Jason for the weekend, she thinks nothing of it. They'll bake cookies together, play with her dog—it'll be fun! Until the police call with terrible news . . .

Ellie may not have been the best friend, but who would want her dead? Could it have something to do with the vague get-rich-quick scheme she mentioned to Ditie? Or the men in a black truck following her and breaking into her home? Not sure who to trust other than her best friend, Lurleen, Ditie's buried maternal instincts kick in to protect the kids and find their mother's killer—before they're orphaned again . . .

#2 - Into the Frying Pan
Mabel Aphrodite Brown has quickly learned that motherhood can sometimes be a real skirmish. But when death visits a Civil War reenactment, it's murder that's a battlefield . . .

In the thick of a hot, muggy Atlanta summer, all Ditie Brown wants to do is keep her kids occupied and get them ready for school in the fall. When her ex-boyfriend, Phil Brockton, shows up for a Civil War reenactment, she thinks it might be fun and educational for the kids. Plus, her best friend Lurleen wants to put on the costumes and get in on the action, and Ditie isn't one to rebel.

But things go south after a cannon misfires, resulting in the death of Phil's med school rival. Was it an accident or something more sinister? Ditie soon realizes the past rarely stays buried, and her digging reveals longstanding enemies, killer motives, and new jealousy. When another reenactor is "accidentally" shot, the pressure is on for Ditie to solve the murders—or else her friends may be history . . .

#3 - Murder Most Southern
Mabel Aphrodite Brown unpacks her knives—and her detective skills—when she joins a cooking competition that someone would kill to win . . .

Somehow, Ditie's best friend, Lurleen, has sweet-talked Ditie into a spot on the next edition of The Great Southern Baking Contest. It'll mean leaving her almost-adopted kids for a little while, but they love spending time with their uncle. And she can't turn down the chance to bake at celebrity chef Savanah Evans's antebellum estate in Beaufort, South Carolina . . .

Even when Savanah's husband dies suspiciously at the welcome party, the show doesn't stop. As technical problems plague filming and the body count rises faster than a soufflé, it becomes clear that everyone is hiding more than just biscuit recipes. It's up to Ditie to sift through a slew of suspects and motives to cut through a mystery with more layers than her Georgia peach strudel. If she doesn't come through with a killer soon, she might get chopped—from real life.

#4 - The House of Good and Evil
Mabel Aphrodite Brown (Ditie) is thrilled when her best friend, Lurleen, wants to buy a 1920s mansion and create a cooking school in Atlanta. An old murder in the house simply adds spice to their intentions. Back in 1949 an innocent Black man was convicted of the crime. Ditie and Lurleen can investigate the murder, right a terrible wrong, and design a cooking school for women who need a second chance in life.

A perfect plan! As Lurleen says, "A new house and an old murder, what more could a girl want?" But "a perfect storm" might be a more accurate description. Conflicting forces swirl around Lurleen even before she purchases the house. Outside the crumbling mansion, a well-tended rose garden seems to welcome her, while a chalked threat on the broken front porch tells her to stay away before a second murder occurs.

#5 - Wedded to Trouble
Ditie's wedding is in the works!

Pediatrician Mabel Aphrodite (Ditie) Brown has imagined this day since the first time Detective Mason Garrett kissed her. Her family will now be complete with her newly-adopted children, Lucie and Jason, and her soon-to-be husband, Mason, beside her. They will wed in the place she calls heaven—on the warm sands of Cape Azul bordering the Gulf of Mexico.

Lurleen, her best friend, will see to everything, so what can possibly go wrong?

The wedding occurs on a glorious sunny day, but trouble isn't far behind. First, the owner of their rental house disappears. Two days later his body washes ashore not far from where they are staying. Is this a warning? Should they get out of there?

Ditie isn't one to leave a job half-done in her cooking, her care of her patients—or in this case—an unsolved murder. But she will never put her children at risk or disappoint her new husband who only wants a quiet honeymoon on the beach.

#6 - Murder and Misdirection
Mabel Aphrodite Brown is looking forward to her favorite holiday—Halloween. But while she and her best friend, Lurleen, are dreaming up treats and innocent fun, someone else is concocting a perfect plan for murder!

In late October, Ditie and Lurleen attend a mystery book club given by a new-found friend. The evening turns sinister when a guest sees something terrifying outside a window and is murdered the same night. Lurleen feels compelled to protect her friend from a crime that twists and turns like a skeleton dangling in a storm.

Is the murderer seeking revenge for old crimes or new ones? Do the tarot cards reveal the truth or hide it? So many clues don't seem to connect. Can Ditie and Lurleen find the missing link before anyone else gets hurt? And what about Mason Garrett, Ditie's new husband and an Atlanta detective? All he wants to do is keep Ditie safe, and that's no easy task when Lurleen is sniffing out a murderer.
