Murder in Madden
Enid Blackwell thinks she has discovered the perfect story to revive her journalism career. Her husband's cousin, Rose Marie Garrett, was brutally murdered 10 years ago in a small town in South Carolina, and the killer was never found. Everyone in the family seems eager to forget Rosie because of her “bad girl” reputation, but Enid is determined to tell the story of the young girl’s tragic life. But bringing the truth to light may cost Enid more than she bargained for. When Rosie’s killer targets Enid, she knows the only way to save herself is to bring Rosie’s killer to justice.
Murder in Madden is the first book in the Enid Blackwell series.
Secrets Never Told
In the third volume of the Enid Blackwell series, the small-town newspaper reporter investigates a grisly discovery at the Glitter Lake Inn. As Enid pushes to expose the truth, a high-profile murder stuns the community. When the killer threatens to strike again, Enid digs deeper to uncover secrets never told.
The Last Sale
Enid Blackwell feels responsible for her friend’s murder more than a year ago. Struggling with emotional turmoil and guilt, Enid is determined to make a safe, even if boring, life for herself by avoiding crime reporting and writing a column for a weekly newspaper. Assigned to write an article about a local soup kitchen, she discovers during an interview that the cook’s daughter simply vanished several months ago. The police investigated but have no further leads to follow, and the case is growing cold. Distraught and with nowhere else to turn, the father pleads with Enid, “Please help me find my daughter.” Once again, Enid must decide how much she is willing to risk to learn the truth.
The Fifth Stone
In the fourth volume of this award-winning mystery series, the beloved historian of Madden, South Carolina, fails to return from a trip and her friends suspect foul play. They call on Enid Blackwell, a small-town newspaper reporter, to help look for the missing woman. Determined to find out what happened, Enid uncovers a sinister plot that puts herself and others in grave danger.
Time to Prey
No news reporter wants to become the headline. But when Enid Blackwell is targeted by a deranged stalker intent on thrusting her into the limelight, she becomes the breaking news. When her tormentor targets others close to her, she begins her own investigation to learn the truth behind this elusive madman’s game.
Murder Clause
Award-winning author Raegan Teller delivers a stunning addition to the Enid Blackwell Mystery Series—a tale of murder steeped in human complexity. After relocating to the idyllic town of Blakeley, former reporter Enid Blackwell and her husband, Police Chief Josh Hart, find themselves drawn into a web of deceit beneath the facade of this “perfect” little town. In pursuit of truth and justice, they investigate the death of a prominent citizen, forcing Enid to confront her own truth.
