  Murder With a Hint of Pumpkin spice Small towns can be murder. Taking over her grandmother’s bookshop is Harper Coleman’s chance to write her cheating ex-fiancé out of her life for good. But when she discovers a body among the shelves and learns she’s the prime suspect, her cozy days turn into a chilling mystery. Unfortunately, this story isn’t one she can close the book on. To clear her name and save her store, Harper hunts for clues with the help of her gossipy neighbor and inquisitive black cat. The people in Whisper Hollow seem friendly, but the quaint town is filled with secrets—one of which is deadly. Harper finds herself drawn to the handsome brothers who work next door, but the more she tries to eliminate them as suspects, the more her suspicions grow. Can Harper untangle the mystery before the final chapter of her bookshop—and her life—comes to a close? Check out the first book in the Whisper Hollow Cozy Mystery series, where Hallmark and Halloween mix with a splash of murde
