Whispers in the Willows

In the quaint town of Willow Creek, where the annual Willow Festival usually marks the height of excitement, tea shop owner Emma Thorne finds herself steeped in a murderous mystery that threatens to uproot the very foundation of her beloved community. When the town's curmudgeonly tycoon, Harold Blackwood, is found dead beneath the ancient willows he threatened to destroy, Emma's curiosity — much like her prized tea blends — begins to percolate. Armed with nothing but her wits, a mysterious map, and an unlikely alliance with a ambitious city journalist, Emma delves into Willow Creek's shadowy past, unearthing a Prohibition-era secret that could change the town's future forever. As she navigates through a tangled web of small-town politics, hidden agendas, and long-buried secrets, Emma finds herself in hot water. With every step closer to the truth, the danger bubbles over — her shop is ransacked, allies are attacked, and it becomes clear that someone wants to permanently silence her investigation. In a heart-pounding climax set in the misty willow grove, Emma confronts not just the killer, but the town's complex history and her own place within it. The discovery of bootlegger's gold forces Willow Creek to confront its past and decide its future, with Emma thrust into the center of the storm.
