shadow. But when his sudden death brings her - and her feisty rescue cat, Ursula - back home, Allie’s barely unpacked before tragedy strikes again.

Her father’s bestselling client is found dead under the town’s historic bridge, and Allie’s childhood friend is the prime suspect. With the Fall Festival looming and gossip swirling like autumn leaves, Allie dusts off her fact-checking skills and dives into small-town secrets.

With a charming genealogist clouding her focus and danger closing in, Allie must solve the mystery before the killer writes her off for good.

Perfect for fans of small-town cozies, witty sleuths, and bookish whodunits.
