Cherry Blossom Bay is all cider and smiles—until someone turns up dead with too many enemies and not enough answers. When a beloved local is found dead just days before Cherry Blossom Bay’s Fall Festival, amateur sleuth Piper Rose is thrust into her most personal case yet. With the victim tied to a decades-old land dispute—and whispers of foul play stirring up small-town tensions—Piper must navigate feuding families, festival chaos, and a murder that may not be as straightforward as it seems.Juggling her new anatomy class (and the brooding professor who might secretly enjoy assigning psychological warfare as homework) is hard enough. Add in working side-by-side with Kitsune—her infuriating, cinnamon-roll-in-a-trench-coat boss—and the lines between crime-solving and emotional catastrophe are starting to blur. As the suspect list grows and the cider-spiced charm of autumn turns a little too sharp, Piper has to decide who she can trust—before the killer decides she’s next. Harvest on the Hill is a cozy mystery filled with twists, small-town charm, and a dash of danger, perfect for fans of intrigue and heartwarming suspense.
