Fern Valley Cozy Mystery Series
Hello everyone,
I’m writing to you from a very quiet, very white landscape today! We are still completely snowed in here, and it looks like we’ll be staying put for a while longer. In fact, we are so tucked away that our mail carrier has decided the snow-covered access road to our house is a bit too treacherous to brave, so no mail delivery for us until things clear up! It’s a bit of a "locked-room mystery" situation in real life, though much safer and with plenty of hot coffee. I truly hope that wherever you are, you are staying safe, warm, and off the icy roads.
Since there’s nowhere for me to go, I’ve been spending my time diving into some fantastic stories, and I have some treats for you today. I am thrilled to share our latest Featured Author Sloane Foster, whose work I know you’ll adore. I also have three wonderful Honorable Mentions that are perfect for a snow day.
If you’re stuck inside like I am, these books are the perfect way to travel without having to shovel the driveway!
Love,
Ashley H.
Today's Feature:
The Mill House Murder
A killer is harvesting more than autumn leaves in Willow Springs...
Marnie Devlin traded her teaching career for a vintage boutique and a fresh start in small-town Missouri. Now sixty-five, she's finally found her rhythm—until a ruthless real estate developer turns up dead, and the town's Harvest Festival preparations take a deadly turn.
With her opinionated Chihuahua, Taco, at her side and her sharp-witted assistant Ruby backing her up, Marnie digs into a mystery that reaches back generations. The EMT Lila evicted makes a convenient suspect. So does the tech specialist she accused of hacking. But when fifty thousand dollars vanishes from local businesses and attacks strike anyone who gets too close to the truth, Marnie realizes the real killer is hiding in plain sight.
Someone in Willow Springs has been planning revenge for years, and they'll do whatever it takes to protect their secret. With the festival approaching and danger closing in, Marnie must unmask a murderer before she becomes the next name on the killer's list.
