MEET EMMA BOOKSTORE OWNER AND YOUR NEW FAVORITE COZY CRIME-SOLVER.

As a snowy December blankets Thistle Ridge, the town gathers in warm anticipation of Lucy’s Lattes’ grand opening. But excitement turns to shock when the mayor’s first sip becomes his last—shattering the festive mood and leaving Greg, the kind-hearted barista, in the hot seat.

Determined to clear the accused and save Lucy’s reputation from ruin, Emma Carter teams up with Jake—the town veterinarian—and his loyal golden retriever, Chewie. Together, they unravel a web of secrets that leads them to unlikely suspects.

Mayor Thompson had plenty of enemies. Whispers of blackmail and corruption drift through the cobblestone streets. One suspect, a local historian, is celebrating her victory over the mayor’s plans to demolish the schoolhouse. Another, Thompson’s widow, seems surprisingly unfazed.

As Emma follows the clues, the suspect list grows longer—and the danger hits closer to home.

Solving this case won’t just save Greg. It might just save Emma, too.
