Shortcut to murder in Maple Glen.
Elly Marsh has settled into life at the edge of town, her days shaped by routine and the company of her goats and clever Jack Russell, Eldorado. Her day is thrown into chaos when a morning walk reveals mysterious footprints and a lost motel key fob near the old town shortcut running across her modest goat farm. Hours later, the news spreads: Howard Finch, the cantankerous co-owner of the Headland Motel, has been found dead in one of the rooms.
The town’s friendliest faces become sudden suspects, and every visit to Felix’s antique shop or Aggie’s bakery uncovers tangled stories about grudges, missing deeds, and ancient property disputes. With red herrings scattered at every crossroads and tensions rising with the tide, Elly’s talent for listening and observing turns her into the community’s unofficial sleuth—and the shortcut’s watchful guardian.
Sergeant Grant Parker depends on her eagle eyes, but as secrets pile up, Elly realizes danger may be closer than she’d ever imagined. When the sun sets on the shortcut and the night brings a final chance for truth, Elly must piece together the last clues to catch a killer—before Maple Glen’s calm is lost for good.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
