(This book can be read on its own, but it does contain spoilers for books 1-2.) Murder is in the air. In Whisper Hollow, love comes with a dangerous twist. When someone is killed at the nursing home, Harper Coleman’s plan to enjoy a scavenger hunt organized by her boyfriend crumbles faster than a stale sugar cookie. Her search for candy hearts turns into a hunt for a killer as Harper digs into the town’s secrets. An anonymous note at the bakery, rumors at the nursing home, and secrets at the Valentine’s Festival have people acting suspicious, but is it because of the scavenger hunt—or the murder? Either way, the town’s nosy residents are eager to help because they know Harper doesn’t just sell murder mysteries, she solves them. Can she crack the case in time, or will Valentine’s Day end with something worse than heartbreak? Check out the third Whisper Hollow Cozy Mystery where the sweetness of Valentine’s Day blends with a touch of suspense.

My name is Laura M. Drake, and I'm the youngest of five kids. I grew up in Arkansas and moved to Utah to attend Brigham Young University. After spending three summers abroad in France, Japan, and China, I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education and began teaching 4th grade near Salt Lake City. A few years later I moved back to Japan to fulfill a life-long dream of living there. When Covid got bad, I came back to America and have been living in Arkansas and writing full-time ever since. I'll soon be moving to UT and look forward to the new adventures that await me there. When I'm not writing (which isn't very often—I should probably get a life haha) I love playing ultimate frisbee, board games, writing in my journal, and spending time with friends and family.
