Murder at the Garden Festival
(2026)(The third book in the Willow Sisters Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Elanor Whitcomb
One detail. One question. One killer hiding in plain sight.
When Helena Forsythe is found dead behind the Heritage Rose tent on the first morning of the Garden Festival, the sheriff calls it natural causes. Seventy-one. Bad heart. Tragic timing.
Margaret Willow calls it wrong.
Helena's garden gloves were still in her pocket — clean, folded, unworn. Her copper thermos was rinsed empty at the scene. And her estranged son had checked into Willow House the night before, legal paperwork already on his desk.
But was Lawrence really there to inherit? Or to reconcile?
And what about Dorothy Crane — publicly humiliated by Helena just days before her death, alone with her at dawn, carrying a silence that has lasted far too long?
With Scout nosing out clues no one else sees, sister Clara feeding her intelligence from the bakery counter, and deputy sister Beth risking her badge on the evidence Willowbrook's sheriff would rather ignore, Margaret follows the one thread that doesn't balance — all the way to a killer who thought the festival would cover their tracks.
Cozy, clever, and impossible to put down '' the third book in the Willow Sisters Cozy Mystery series.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
