The Augusta Goodnight series ran for seven books from 1999 to 2008. Each novel features Augusta, a guardian angel with a sweet tooth and a knack for showing up at just the right moment. She pairs up with various mortal characters who find themselves caught up in dangerous situations, and together they work to sort out who did what and why.
Mignon F. Ballard set these mysteries in the kind of small Southern communities where everyone knows each other’s business. The books mix light humor with genuine suspense, and Augusta herself is a memorable character who feels more like a well-meaning neighbor than a heavenly being. Fans of cozy mysteries with a hint of the supernatural will find this series worth picking up.
