Asters & Alibis
(2025)(The eighth book in the Iris Bennett Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Jade Curry
Whispers, Lies, and Autumn Skies
The Harvest Fair should be a season of pies, laughter, and small-town pride. But when a sudden death interrupts the celebration, florist Iris Bennett can’t shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong. A faint scent of almonds lingers in the crisp autumn air, and behind every friendly smile drifts a secret waiting to be unearthed.
As falling leaves blanket Cedar Grove in gold, Iris follows a trail of half-truths and hidden motives that lead from the fairgrounds to forgotten corners of the town’s history.
With help from her spirited assistant Sadie, her one-eyed cat Winston, and a detective who wishes she’d stop poking around crime scenes, Iris soon learns that every family recipe and festival ribbon may come with a price.
Warm, witty, and filled with autumn charm, Asters & Alibis proves that in a town this picture-perfect, even the sweetest traditions can conceal the darkest truths.
