This book is for you!
Evie has rocked leopard-print leggings and sipped minty Grasshoppers for the last time. After eighty-six full-throttle years, she screeched into death, but not before creating a funerary adventure for her twin grandchildren, Ruby and Roddy. Six Ziploc bags of cremains and a cryptic message arrive at Ruby’s cottage: Solve the puzzles to determine where to spread my ashes, discover the secrets I couldn’t share, and claim your inheritance—if you still want to.
Perpetually sunny Ruby and her cynical twin, Roddy, dive into the challenge. Ruby enlists the help of an adorably nerdy journalist, a cookie-wielding docent, and—despite Roddy’s warnings—a sketchy mystery man. The solutions lead the twins throughout Lancaster County, PA and back in time to the era of rollicking speakeasies. The revelations become increasingly concerning and the whiff of murder swirls around their beloved grandmother’s secrets. The truth is a bombshell and the twin’s lives will never be the same.

book 2 ~ the Mysteries continue ...
Ruby and Roddy are at it again!
A brother in jail wasn’t on Ruby’s party-planning checklist.
Ruby Finch’s latest event should have launched her business to the next level. Instead, a shocking incident turns the festivities into a full‑on fiasco, leaving a guest fighting for life and twin brother Roddy in handcuffs. Not exactly the grand finale she had in mind.
Ruby knows one thing for sure—Roddy isn’t to blame. Armed with color-coded lists, alphabetized worries, and her trademark rainbow-and-unicorn positivity, she sets out to prove it before scandal ruins everything they’ve built and a trial lands her brother behind bars.
Millicent Wagner—cookie pusher, museum docent, tireless volunteer, and the twins’ self-appointed grandmother—also knows Roddy didn’t do it. And like any grandmother worth her salt—though she’d argue sugar fixes everything—she’s determined to protect her own.
With her tarot-reading confidante Liza at her side, Millicent follows a trail of clues, slicing through Lancaster County’s postcard-perfect façade and into its shadowy corners. When the evidence points squarely at the one person whose guilt would shatter the twins’ world, Millicent faces an agonizing choice: expose the truth and break their hearts, or keep the secret and let Roddy go to jail for a crime he didn’t commit.
When the truth is finally uncovered, it blindsides everyone. It was within reach all along—and not what anyone expected.
