Murder Under the Whispering Oak
Approximate length: 85,000 words
In Maplewood, every scent tells a story — and one aroma could mean murder.
When renowned food critic Daniel Price collapses mid-tasting at the beloved Maplewood Café, owner Claire Dawson's sanctuary turns into a crime scene. The café isn't just her livelihood; it's her late parents' legacy. Now, with whispers spreading through the small town, Claire finds herself the subject of suspicion.
Determined to clear her name, Claire begins her own investigation, unraveling a trail of subtle but dangerous clues: a carved maple-leaf button, a missing page from a guest book, a rare wine cork, and a dusting of cinnamon that carries the scent of betrayal. Each suspect has secrets, and each secret pulls her deeper into Maplewood's past — and toward the legend of the Whispering Oak, a tree said to reveal the truth and punish the guilty.
But someone is using that legend for their own deadly ends. To save her café and her town, Claire must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.
Perfect for fans of Louise Penny and Ellery Adams, Murder Under the Whispering Oak blends the warmth of a small-town setting with an atmospheric mystery and a touch of folklore. Curl up with this cozy yet suspenseful tale — but keep a sharp eye on your coffee cup
