In the charming lake town of Oak's Rest, the biggest scandals usually involve who stole the best seat at the town hall meeting. That is, until someone turns up dead.
Esther Bennett has finally landed her dream job managing the Calliope Inn, where visitors swap bustling Manhattan life for upstate foliage, crackling fireplaces, and freshly baked cookies.
She left behind her family's high-status world years ago to create a slower-paced life on her own terms. And it's working. Mostly.
The inn is set to host this year's Makers and Merchants Festival, and Esther is juggling her first big event, pillow-obsessed guests, quirky townsfolk vendors, and forced weekly dinners with her doctor parents and golden-child sister.
The last thing she needs added to her plate? A murder.
But when Esther stumbles on a body near the town square, she finds herself pulled into solving the mystery. With help from her staff and moral support from the inn's resident cat, Sesame, she's determined to untangle the web of clues that will lead her to the killer.
Calliope Inn Cozy Mysteries are brimming with small-town charm and lovable characters. They are free from harsh language, graphic violence, and adult content. Join Esther on her amateur sleuth journey to solving the crime.
