Murder On Cumberland Mountain
(2026)(A book in the Captivating Emily Bishop Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Emily Bishop
A mountain inn. A fatal fall. And secrets someone will kill to protect.
When meticulous, list-loving Anna Whitlow returns to her family’s Cumberland Mountain inn after her aunt Mae’s deadly fall, she intends to restore order, not question a tragedy ruled an accident. But Mae was cautious, methodical… and never careless. The details don’t add up.
With only her fiercely loyal and protective dog, Jasper, and the guarded Sheriff Carter who is willing to risk everything for the truth, Anna begins uncovering what Mae was quietly documenting. A trusted employee, Thomas with access to the stairwell. A state official, Daniel Mason, pushed aggressive ‘safety reviews’ and sudden inspections. Both had direct ties to Mae in the days before she died, and both have something to lose.
As power failures, shutdowns, and unmarked visitors begin circling the inn, Anna realizes she isn’t just investigating the past, she’s standing in the way of something much bigger. And someone is determined to silence her before she finds the final piece.
Because on Cumberland Mountain, the truth doesn’t stay buried for long.
