A novel by Maisy Marple
When Ruby Fletcher receives an unexpected invitation to Thanksgiving dinner at the newly renovated Harvest Ridge Inn, the vintage record shop owner anticipates nothing more than good food and pleasant conversation. But when the charming former rock star Jack Morrison collapses after tasting his first bite of pumpkin pie, Ruby and her music-loving dachshund Mozart find themselves at the center of a small-town murder investigation with roots stretching back decades. What should have been a celebration of gratitude has turned deadly, and suddenly everyone at the dinner table is a suspect.
As Ruby delves deeper into Jack's mysterious death, she uncovers a tangled web of old family feuds, disputed land claims, and buried secrets that someone in Harvest Ridge will kill to protect. With her keen eye for detail and Mozart's uncanny ability to sniff out clues, Ruby navigates the dangerous waters of small-town politics and personal grudges. But as Thanksgiving weekend progresses and evidence begins to mount, Ruby realizes the killer may be setting their sights on her next, turning her cozy life in the charming mountain town upside down.
In this delightful cozy mystery filled with twists, turns, and plenty of small-town charm, Ruby must sort through a gravy-thick conspiracy and determine who's telling the truth before she becomes the next victim on the murderer's holiday menu.
