A Fatal Frost

A frost has fallen over the cozy town of Redwood Grove, and Annie and Fletcher are sprucing up the Secret Bookcase for the new year when a chilling new case lands on their desks.

A local herbalist and flower artist is convinced someone is stalking her. Her garden shed has been broken into, the windows smashed, and dead rats and birds left on the doorstep. It's unsettling to say the least.

But when her neighbor is poisoned, the police trace the tincture to one of her herbal teas.

Can the Novel Detectives clear their client and find the real killer--or will this case prove more toxic than they could ever have expected?

Fans of M.C. Beaton, Merryn Allingham and Lauren Elliott will love this gripping cozy mystery packed with small-town charm, bookish fun and edge-of-the-seat intrigue.
