(2026)(The fifth book in the Old Bell Inn Cozy Murder Mystery series)
A novel by Khloe Kass
A dead guest. A poisoned dart. A secret someone will kill to protect.
Emma Sharpe has investigated murder before.
Never beneath her own roof.
A guest lies dead beside an open window at the Old Bell Inn, killed by a poisoned dart. He came to Merrivale searching for the secret heir to a powerful family fortune—but his most important files have vanished, and his final telephone call ended with his death.
The only clue he left behind is a cryptic message:
Wait beside the old clock. The truth will be heard after the nightingale sings.
With her beloved inn’s reputation at risk, Emma joins forces with her new investigation partner, Simon Mitchell, while DI James Harris searches for a killer who may still be hiding among the guests.
Their questions uncover a disputed inheritance, decades of deception, and a family determined to keep its secrets buried.
But someone knows what the dead man discovered.
And before the nightingale sings, the killer intends to make certain the truth dies with him.
