English teacher Knox Harrington and his golden retriever Hemingway were looking for a quiet fresh start in the lakeside town of Millfield Harbor. But when the principal's treasured antique fountain pen vanishes during the faculty welcome breakfast—threatening to cancel the annual retreat—Knox finds himself reluctantly drawn into solving the mystery. Teaming up with no-nonsense math teacher Zara Blackwood and her fastidious black cat Pythagoras, Knox discovers that small towns hide their secrets well beneath picturesque surfaces.
As more historical artifacts disappear and suspicious behavior abounds, Knox and Zara uncover a web of motives connecting the school, the local historical society, and a mysterious collector with deep pockets. Their investigation leads them through cozy bookshops, farmers markets, and midnight stakeouts, with unexpected help from their four-legged companions whose animal instincts prove surprisingly useful. With the faculty retreat hanging in the balance, our amateur sleuths must navigate small-town politics and professional relationships while piecing together clues that point to someone they never suspected.
"Lesson in Mystery" delivers the perfect blend of small-town charm and clever puzzle-solving that cozy mystery fans crave.
