Book Description
The Fairhope Murder Mystery Series by Ashley Brandt
Berlynn Wallace never planned to become an amateur sleuth. She was perfectly content working at an independent bookstore in Fairhope, Alabama—until a dead fashion designer appeared in her bathroom.
Vaughn may be a ghost, but he's still opinionated, still fabulous, and still convinced Berlynn needs a wardrobe intervention. When murder disrupts their quiet corner of the Gulf Coast, this unlikely duo finds themselves tangled in secrets that run deeper than Mobile Bay—from heirloom garrotes and beauty queen conspiracies to messages scrawled in hair dye at crime scenes.
Set against the languid heat and watchful charm of small-town Alabama, this series blends Southern Gothic atmosphere with sharp wit, a touch of the supernatural, and mysteries that keep you guessing until the last page.
This combined edition includes two complete novels: Dead by Design and Hurry Up and Dye.
Coming May 2026.
