A psychic librarian. A skeptical detective. A murder connected to three women killed in 1892.
Sophie Huang can feel the history of anything she touches. A stranger's grief. A dead woman's last breath. She wears gloves for a reason. She's kept everyone at arm's length since her grandmother died three years ago.
Then a true-crime podcaster turns up dead in her library.
Detective Cameron Walsh doesn't believe in psychics. She's been fooled before. But Margot Chen's murder pulls her into something she can't explain away: a century-old cover-up, a town built on buried secrets, and a librarian who knows things she shouldn't.
Three women were killed in 1892. The founding families of Willowmere, Oregon covered it up. Someone is still protecting the secret. And Sophie and Cameron don't trust each other, which gets complicated when you're falling for someone you're supposed to be lying to.
Sapphic cozy mystery with paranormal elements. Slow-burn grumpy-sunshine romance. Atmospheric small-town Oregon setting. Standalone with HEA. No cliffhanger.
Tropes: slow-burn sapphic romance, psychic abilities, small-town mystery, grumpy-sunshine, opposites attract, forced proximity, found family, paranormal cozy, historical cold case
Book 1 of The Willowmere Mysteries. Third-person POV. ~35,000 words. No explicit content. Can be read as a standalone.
