Cue the ghostly confetti and pass the casserole—Skeletons & Scandals under my Nyx Halliwell pen name is finally here! 🎉👻🥘
Ava Fantome in my Confessions of a Closet Medium cozy mystery series is back, and this time, she’s not just whispering to spirits—she’s battling casserole curses, kitchen hauntings, and the kind of Southern secrets that don’t stay buried for long.
Here’s what’s bubbling in the cauldron of chaos this time around:
- A famous food blogger drops dead after judging the Southern Spirits Cook-Off. (Not a great Yelp review.)
- A skeleton in the attic unlocks a decades-old mystery involving a vanished chef.
- And a very opinionated ghost is rearranging Ava’s spice rack until her murder is solved.
Honestly, the only thing more chaotic than Ava’s kitchen right now is her social calendar with the dearly departed. And yes—there are real recipes included, perfect for fans who love a little cooking with their clues.
This story has:
✔️ Southern sass
✔️ Ghostly meddling
✔️ Mouthwatering magic
✔️ Family secrets
✔️ Cozy chaos
✔️ And heart… so much heart.
If you love cozy mysteries with charming small towns, snarky spirits, and heroines who solve crimes between baking sessions and banishing ghosts, then this book’s for you.

Whether you’re here for the ghost, the gossip, or the gooey cornbread casserole, Ava’s waiting to welcome you back to Thornhollow—with floury footprints, haunted recipes, and maybe just one more secret hidden in the pantry.
When a ghost haunts your kitchen, you’d better be ready to stir the pot.
I thought judging Thornhollow’s Southern Spirits Cookoff would mean a weekend of casseroles, community spirit, and a few tall tales about haunted grannies and secret family recipes. I didn’t expect a famous food blogger to drop dead after tasting my friend’s cornbread casserole.
And I definitely didn’t expect to stumble across a skeleton in my attic—let alone the ghost that came with it.
A once-famous local chef, whose mysterious disappearance decades ago has become the stuff of Thornhollow folklore, has taken up residence in my kitchen—rearranging spice racks, leaving floury clues on the counter, and demanding I solve the mystery of her death or she’ll haunt my kitchen forever.
With a poisoned casserole, a tin filled with bewitching recipes, hexes, and blessings, and a whole lot of Southern secrets bubbling to the surface, I’ve got my hands full—and a killer in Thornhollow would rather I leave the past buried.
If you love your mysteries served with a side of Southern sass, ghostly meddling, and mouthwatering recipes, grab your apron and join Ava in the kitchen. Skeletons & Scandals is a cozy mystery packed with charm, chills, and a whole lot of heart.
