A Twisted Harvest Murder
(2026)(The sixth book in the Lila Lawson Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Lilly Gibbs
A Harvest Festival. A Dying Message. An Impossible Crime.
Small-town reporter Lila Lawson expected cider and hayrides at the Copper Falls Harvest Festival, not corporate developer Silas Thorne’scorpse in a corn maze.
The crime is impossible: Silas’s footprints lead into the stalks, but none lead out.
While the town spirals, Lila’s compulsion to untangle chaos kicks into high gear.
Silas left behind a trail of enemies, and the suspects are lining up.
Did landscape architect Julianna Sterling kill to save her maze from his bulldozers?
Did Old Man Hawthorne snap after Silas pushed his farm into foreclosure?
Or did rival farmer Arthur Miller take extreme measures to stop Silas’s condo project from crushing the community?
Only one clue remains: a cryptic symbol Silas clawed into the mud.
When Lila and her loyal Collie, Ella, catch a chilling scent on the autumn breeze, she realizes the killer is still lurking between the rows.
In a maze with no exit, can Lila unmask the culprit before she becomes the next harvest sacrifice?
