Moonlight Can Be Murder
~ A Ned McNeil Mystery ~
by Blanche Day Manos
Nettie "Ned" McNeil cannot imagine why her Uncle Javin feels that he is in danger, but
she loads her suitcases into her car, leaves Atlanta and her late husband, and makes the
long trek to Ednalee, Oklahoma, to help out. When she arrives, Uncle Javin's white
Victorian house is strangely dark and silent. Inside she finds him lying on the floor in
a pool of blood.
So begin her first moments back in her old home town, where the mystery of Uncle Javin's
violent death pulls at Ned. But his mysterious murderer seems to always be just a few steps
ahead of her search. How can she protect her own life as she pursues a killer who will stop
at nothing to guard a deadly secret?
Praise for Moonlight Can Be Murder
Frightfully spooky!
~ Mignon Ballard, author of the Miss Dimple Mysteries
Blanche Manos has another great series going with Moonlight Can Be Murder. You'll feel the cold
of the snow, the warmth of friendship, and the chill of death threats as Ned tries to unravel mysteries
of today and yesteryear at the same time. There are plenty of plot twists, interesting characters,
troublesome characters and allies. I look forward to reading the next.
~ Ronda Del Boccio, Amazon Best Selling Author, WriteonPurpose.com
Breathtaking . . . can't put it down . . . spellbinding. All
of the cliches apply to this story of suspense, with an abundance of possible villains to keep you
guessing. Written so that you feel like you are there and with characters that make you wish you
could know them personally, this is a great story!
~ Judy Lewis, editor at New Leaf Publishing

law-abiding and peaceful people. As Darcy and Flora discover, more is going on than meets the eye.
The Cemetery Club, Grave Shift, Best Left Buried, and Grave Heritage follow these courageous women
from one harrowing adventure to another.
The second series, the Ned McNeil Moonlight books, begins with Nettie Elizabeth McNeil returning to
her hometown of Ednalee, looking forward to a reunion with her only living relative, her Uncle Javin.
The reunion fails to happen and Ned, as her friends call her, discovers that she is involved in a

Ned and her two childhood friends into the mystery surrounding a 200-year-old house that is
lovely to look at but is built around a deadly secret of its own.
