Shadows Over Thanksgiving - Libby Madsen Cozy Mysteries, #9

When Libby Madsen hosts her first big family-and-friend Thanksgiving, she's prepared for the usual chaos that comes with relatives, last-minute surprises, and juggling a house full of guests.

If only it stopped there, but of course one thing after another continues to test Libby's patience as she prepares for the big day. Between old family grudges, solving a murder, and an unexpected storm that delays Dana's pilot husband, the day is filled with more than just turkey and stuffing. With the help of her boyfriend Greg, her loyal dog, Shadow, and a few close friends and family members, Libby must piece together the clues before Thanksgiving is completely ruined.

In this heartwarming yet suspenseful cozy mystery, family secrets simmer, friendships are tested, and one thing is for sure—Libby's Thanksgiving is one no one will forget!

"A fun read from first page to last … an impressively original and deftly crafted read"—Midwest Book Review

"Readers know what a sucker I am for dogs, and the Libby Madsen mysteries are some of the best. I love, love, love Shadow and Libby and the adventures they get themselves into. Jennifer J. Morgan is destined to be one of the brightest new stars in the cozy mystery scene!" – Connie Shelton, USA Today bestselling author

"I'm hooked on this series. Completely adore Libby and Shadow (her companion black Lab pup—so adorable!). Without giving any spoilers at all, I couldn't put the book down once amateur sleuth, Libby Madsen, was on the search. The suspense amid so many suspects, I never did figure out how it would all turn out. Overall, it's a clean read--appropriate for all ages." – lovereadingmysteries, 5 star online review

Hope the next title comes soon…" – 5 stars on Barnes & Noble
