A Fatal Fall Festival
(2026)(The fourth book in the Trails, Timber & Truth series)
A novel by Amber Ward
A cozy fall festival. A crowded corn maze. A vendor who won’t make it out alive.Clara Bennett thought Pine Hollow’s Fall Festival would be the perfect way to close out another busy season at Bennett Pines Campground. Pumpkins lined the paths, cider steamed from paper cups, and Ranger was far too interested in every dropped bite of kettle corn.
For once, Clara was hoping for a quiet weekend.
Then a festival vendor is found dead near the corn maze.
As the cheerful autumn celebration turns tense, rumors begin spreading faster than the smell of fresh apple cider. The victim had secrets. The vendors have grudges. And somewhere among the hay bales, craft booths, and twisting rows of corn, someone is hiding the truth.
Clara knows she should leave the investigation to Deputy Nathan Cole and Sheriff Donnelly. But when small details refuse to line up—and Ranger seems determined to sniff out more than snacks—she can'''t ignore the feeling that the killer is still close.
With the Pathfinders offering theories, Pine Hollow watching her every move, and Nathan growing more protective than either of them wants to admit, Clara must uncover what really happened before the festival’s final night.
Because in Pine Hollow, nostalgia can be deadly.
A Fatal Fall Festival is a clean, small-town cozy mystery full of autumn atmosphere, campground charm, loyal friends, a lovable dog, and a slow-burn romance woven through the series.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
