“You’d better leave town or else”.

 After a devastating betrayal, and the return of her mother’s critical voice, mystery writer Tammy Rumbelow flees LA for a charming blue cottage in Willowcroft, Michigan. But when a yellowed letter in the attic reveals an unsolved 70-year-old locked room murder in her living room, her peace is shattered. Determined to start fresh, Tammy enlists the help of a ragtag group of locals who are clever, curious… and completely unqualified:

Bookstore owner Olivia Huddlestone offers a sanctuary for clandestine conversations and genealogy among her shelves.

Eccentric Mrs. Hazel Temperance mines her knitting circle for gossip. Retired detective “Wally” has contacts at the sheriff’s department.

Tech whiz kid Xander Simmons hasn’t met a computer he didn’t like—or a website he can’t hack. And a stray cat with a nose for clues…

As threatening letters appear and break-ins escalate around town, Tammy must prove to herself—and her inner critic—that she’s capable of solving a murder, or will that be two?

She wants to call Willowcroft home, but first she has to appease the ghosts of both past and present.

Perfect for fans of multi-generational mysteries filled with quirky characters like Only Murders in the Building and crime-solving writers like Castle.
