"'Narrators [Meg] Price and [Jim] Meskimen's increasing playfulness with the characters and the twists and turns of the plot make this an enjoyable listening experience.' —Kirkus Reviews on The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective
Months after the shocking murders at Marigold Cottages, eccentric landlady Mrs. B finds the peace and quiet a little too peaceful. That’s why she invites her young friend CJ Moore to move into a now-vacant cottage: CJ is a suspect in the death of her employer, a wealthy Santa Barbara philanthropist who tumbled down the stairs of his mansion during a dinner party. The dead man’s much-younger widow claims she saw CJ push him, but Mrs. B is certain that she’s innocent. Why? Oh, just a feeling.
That’s enough for her to summon the Marigold Cottages Murder Collective. Lily-Ann will marshal the facts, Hamilton will dig around online, Sophie and Nicholas will offer eyewitness testimony, and everyone will hope that Ocean keeps Mrs. B out of trouble.
Just as the tenants begin to suspect that Elsa is in fact the perpetrator, there’s a second murder. A bloodier one. And with their tight-knit community in the crosshairs, they must prove her innocence—or accept her guilt.
'[Narrator Meg] Price ... effortlessly [shifts] ages (kids to eighties!), mannerisms, [and] personalities. [Narrator Jim] Meskimen seamlessly interrupts with his own versatile characterizations of tenants and outsiders.' —Booklist on The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective

“He went by Knox now, and Knox was everything Seth wasn’t and everything he’d never wanted to be. He was distant and ruthless like his father. Knox was a version of a man who was never supposed to exist, yet he stood only a few feet away from me.
My mother did this to him because of me.”
I’ve dreamt of finding Seth and fleeing the kingdoms as we once planned, but that was impossible. For ten years, while I longed for him, he plotted my demise.
Knox now believes every word I say is a lie, and has cast me aside as his mate, but the love I feel for him never wavered. He may hate me now, but he can’t deny the attraction that still binds us even as our history tears us apart.
I’m determined to prove to him that I’m not like the other night casters. The only problem is, I’m not sure what I am anymore as strange new abilities surface within me.

Once she does… I’ll destroy her.
