The Briar Hill Wedding Murder
(2026)(The first book in the Blackboard Belles Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Samantha Noble
Former English teacher Felice Mendes has spent years preserving forgotten stories inside Forget Me Not Books. So when a box of rare antique botanical volumes arrives without explanation, she can't resist uncovering the mystery behind them.
Then the man who mailed the books is found dead.
Hidden in the margins of the century-old volumes are cryptic notes, forgotten property records, and clues pointing to a secret someone has spent decades trying to bury. As Felice and the Blackboard Belles follow the trail through Cartwell's past, it becomes clear the books weren't sent by accident—they were entrusted to her for a reason.
Now Felice is the only person who can finish the investigation their sender never had the chance to complete.
If she can't uncover the truth before the clues disappear into the wrong hands, a killer will walk free, an innocent man's final secret will die with him, and a piece of Cartwell's history may be lost forever.
