Sticky Sweet Murder

In Pine Hollow, the syrup flows sweet—but not everyone’s hands are clean

Margo Linwood is used to sampling towns, not suspects. As the owner of Wander & Wonder, she’s in Pine Hollow to scout a charming Vermont festival—not catch a killer. But when a maple syrup mogul drops dead in front of her, she’s chilled. It’s not her first brush with danger.

Armed with her travel journal, her inquisitive Papillon sidekick, Dot, and a knack for noticing what others miss, Margo starts stirring the pot and suspects surface. Emory, a trusted partner, was edged out without warning, and Doug, a bitter rival, was discarded when plans changed. Each had sticky motives—and slippery alibis.

A cranky local and a gossipy historian serve up rumors with their tea, fueling Margo’s hunt for the truth.

But when a warning note appears beneath her door, Margo realizes someone might be watching her next move.

Now, it’s a race against time to unmask the truth—before the town’s sweetness becomes deadly…for her.
