Oxford Key Mysteries

A dead chef. A ruined gala. And the ghosts didn't see a thing. As Oxford's new Head of Ceremonies, Natalie Payne's first task is to organize St Margaret's autumn gala. However, her plans are dashed when she finds their famed chef dead in the kitchen. And then a centuries-old cat informs Nat she has her own magical legacy...and responsibilities. A murder in the halls is a sure sign that something has gone wrong with Oxford's magical protections. Now Nat has to solve the murder, find a new chef for the gala, and figure out why Oxford's magical defenses are down. With the help of Oxford's magical Eternals and some new friends, Nat has a chance. But can she do it before St Margaret loses its connection to the magic of Oxford? If you like cozy mysteries where ghosts walk the halls, paintings come to life, creatures play, and magic seems within reach, the Oxford Key Mysteries are sure to delight.

A secret chamber. A dead body. And one ghost who won't tell the truth! When Nat agrees to meet a friend in the archives of historic Barnard College after hours, she doesn't expect to find a hidden chamber or stumble across another dead body. The Master's assistant has been murdered, and although Nat figures out who is responsible, finding the evidence is a challenge. Especially when the one ghost who witnessed the crime refuses to say what happened. The closer Nat comes to finding the proof she needs, the more tempers flare and threats fly. The situation becomes a race against time, and just when she thinks she's won, Nat realizes the murderer is willing to do whatever it takes to escape justice, including getting Nat out of the way. Permanently. Nat's miscalculation will cost someone their life, but whose? If you like cozy mysteries where ghosts walk the halls, paintings come to life, wyverns play around, and magic seems within reach, the Oxford Key Mysteries are sure to delight.
