Cozy Mystery • Small Town • Fall Festival
Autumn has arrived in Silver Pines, and the little mountain town has never looked more charming.
Crisp mornings, colorful leaves, cozy sweaters, and plenty of pumpkin spice have Main Street buzzing as Pinnix Coffee celebrates the opening of its brand-new drive-up window. The town's first-ever Coffee Crawl invites visitors to collect stamps, sample seasonal drinks, and discover why life is simply better with a warm cup in hand.
For Clare Garner, it's the perfect excuse to spend her days with friends, support a beloved local business, and soak in everything she loves about fall.
Until a body is discovered behind the new coffee window.
As whispers spread through town and excitement gives way to suspicion, Clare finds herself following a trail of clues through back alley deliveries, hometown rivalries, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. With Pinnix's newest venture hanging in the balance, she'll need to uncover the truth before someone else becomes the next victim.
Because in Silver Pines, autumn may be everyone's favorite season... but murder never takes a holiday.
