Small towns can be murder. Taking over her grandmother’s bookshop is Harper Coleman’s chance to write her cheating ex-fiancé out of her life for good. But when she discovers a body among the shelves and learns she’s the prime suspect, her cozy days turn into a chilling mystery. Unfortunately, this story isn’t one she can close the book on. To clear her name and save her store, Harper hunts for clues with the help of her gossipy neighbor and inquisitive black cat. The people in Whisper Hollow seem friendly, but the quaint town is filled with secrets—one of which is deadly. Harper finds herself drawn to the handsome brothers who work next door, but the more she tries to eliminate them as suspects, the more her suspicions grow. Can Harper untangle the mystery before the final chapter of her bookshop—and her life—comes to a close? Check out the first book in the Whisper Hollow Cozy Mystery series, where Hallmark and Halloween mix with a splash of murder. It’s the perfect seasonal read to curl up with on a chilly fall night. Note to Despite the spice in the name, this book is a cozy mystery and contains no actual spice. :)

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.
