Ghostly Amethyst Shadows
After finding letters from her father in an old box in her mother's house, Libby is determined to look into his untimely death.
With her loyal Labrador, Shadow, and a close-knit circle of friends, Libby dives into a high-stakes investigation that stretches from corrupt boardrooms to desolate mountain trails. As mysterious forces close in, a long-lost truth emerges, and Libby finds herself facing more danger than she could have imagined.
When a mountain hike reveals a hidden amethyst mine-and a haunting mystery-Greg's plans for a proposal are temporarily put on hold. Determined to find that perfect moment, he stays resolute and keeps his eye on the prize.
In this adventure packed with rugged hikes, haunted mines, and a chilling conspiracy, Libby must risk everything to expose a truth that refuses to stay buried.

"A fun read from first page to last ... an impressively original and deftly crafted read"-Midwest Book Review
"Readers know what a sucker I am for dogs, and the Libby Madsen mysteries are some of the best. I love, love, love Shadow and Libby and the adventures they get themselves into. Jennifer J. Morgan is destined to be one of the brightest new stars in the cozy mystery scene!" - Connie Shelton, USA Today bestselling author
"I'm hooked on this series. Completely adore Libby and Shadow (her companion black Lab pup-so adorable!). Without giving any spoilers at all, I couldn't put the book down once amateur sleuth, Libby Madsen, was on the search. The suspense amid so many suspects, I never did figure out how it would all turn out. Overall, it's a clean read--appropriate for all ages." - lovereadingmysteries, 5 star online review
"This cozy mystery series has become one of my favorites! Libby Madsen, along with Shadow her dog ... Alexis, her best friend/business partner, and her family ... and the gorgeous forest ranger, Greg! I love the friend group! And Jennifer doesn't disappoint in her second book of the series ... I find myself turning pages just wanting to know what happens next. Hope the next title comes soon..." - 5 stars on Barnes & Noble
"After meeting Libby and Shadow, Greg, Alexis and JJ, and the other great characters in this series, I couldn't wait to get right into this second book. Excellent action, just as in the first one-a great overall whodunit!" - avidmysteryfan, 5 stars online review
"Shadows in the Forest will leave satisfied mystery buffs looking eagerly toward the next Libby Madsen story." - The Midwest Book Review
