Travel to the 1980s with Stella “Granny” Reid to the nondescript town of McGill, Georgia, a place that has a way of attracting dubious characters--including the murdered leader of an ignorant gang believed to have orchestrated several hate crimes...
 

As quirky as McGill’s residents can be, they usually welcome society’s oddballs and outcasts into the community with open arms. But the three members of the Lone White Wolf Pack are a different story. Townsfolk aren’t feeling the least bit neighborly toward the ignorant gang widely believed to have orchestrated several hate crimes in the area...

When the small group’s irredeemable leader, Billy Ray Sonner, is found dead in an abandoned motel, most assume it was the result of an accidental overdose. An unfortunate yet predictable end for a man who lived the way Billy did. Only Stella and the sheriff have witnessed the crime scene in person, and the smell of cyanide means something more disturbing happened in that ramshackle room. Something like homicide…

Praise for Murder at Mabel’s Motel

Praise for G.A. McKevett’s Granny Reid Mysteries
 
“A blast from the past.” --Kirkus on Murder at Mabel’s Motel
 
“Bittersweet...McKevett poignantly evokes how difficult and all-consuming raising seven children can be, but in Stella she has created a woman strong and loving enough to do it. Readers will hope this series has a long run.” --Publishers Weekly on Murder at Mabel’s Motel
 
“Insightful…McKevett transcends the usual cozy and amateur sleuth tropes.” Publishers Weekly on Murder in the Corn Maze
 
“Small-town Southern life, friendship, close family ties, and a mature female protagonist add to the appeal of this satisfying cozy.”
—Booklist on Murder in the Corn Maze
 
"The story incorporates heavy topics like the legacy of slavery and mistreatment of Native Americans without overwhelming what
is ultimately a small-town page turner. The conclusion is chilling, but readers will be hungry for the next installment of this warm-hearted, 1980s-set series.” —Bookpage on Murder in the Corn Maze
 
 “Offers welcome insight into the woman Stella is and the woman Savannah is destined to become.Sure to please McKevett loyalists and other fans of plucky women.” —Kirkus Reviews on Murder in the Corn Maze
 
“Murder in the Corn Maze is both a trick and a treat. The trick is that it uses familiarity to mask its freshness; the treat is that this gambit works on every level—both as a singular story and a series installment. Be forewarned: While this book may send a shiver down your spine, it’s also guaranteed to warm your heart.” —Criminal Element
 
 “For a glimpse into small town life, where the neighbors squabble, gossip flies, everybody knows your business before you do, and when times are hard but everyone pulls together, this Christmas tale will warm your heart.” Kings River Life Magazine on
Murder in Her Stocking
 
“McKevett gives us a sometimes sassy and sometimes stern yet always relatable protagonist in Stella, whose juxtaposition of strength and vulnerability beautifully embodies the complexities and dynamism of real, everyday women. Be forewarned: You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll probably curse the fact that you have to wait a year for the next book.” —Criminal Element on Murder in Her Stocking
 
“Readers will look forward to Stella’s further adventures.”
