Daffodils and Devon Scones: A Nettles B&B Paracozy Mystery

Spring has come to the Nettles Bed & Breakfast, and with it daffodils in bloom, warm tea in the parlor, and a quiet sense of celebration. It is Nan Nettles's seventieth birthday, and while her husband's suspicious secrecy suggests a surprise in the works, Nan is content to let the day unfold in its own time. But inside the house, something else begins to stir. Hidden away in the attic, Nan discovers a long-forgotten cello. Once she touches it, the music comes easily—irresistibly. Guests begin drifting into deep, unshakable sleep. Conversations trail off mid-sentence. Even the resident ghosts grow strangely quiet. With the help of Mossy, the ever-practical Mabel, mischievous pixies, and the lingering echoes of the past, Nan uncovers the truth behind the enchanted instrument. The cello's magic is not cruel or dangerous—it is longing. A desire to be heard, remembered, and finally understood. Set against the warmth of the Florida coast, Daffodils & Devon Scones is a cozy paranormal mystery about birthdays and beginnings, enduring love, and the quiet magic of rest. This fourth installment in the Nettles B&B Para Cozy series blends gentle mystery, whimsical charm, and magical realism into a story where healing arrives softly—one melody at a time. Perfect for readers who love cozy mysteries with gentle magic, found family, companionable ghosts, and small-town charm.
