Whispers in the Honey Loft

When June Bell inherits her family's weathered barn in the small town of Maple Hollow, she expects dust, repairs, and a lifetime of unresolved memories. What she doesn't expect is a hidden cache of antique honey jars, a long-buried land dispute, and a trail of secrets someone is willing to protect at any cost.

After a poisoning at the town's Heritage Fair shocks the community, June finds herself pulled into a mystery that stretches far beyond one malicious act. With the sharp-eyed Edith Vale, practical pharmacist Mara, irrepressible Tessa, and a growing stack of hidden records, June begins uncovering the truth behind old lies, altered histories, and the quiet bargains that kept Maple Hollow's most respected families above suspicion.

But in a town where charm often covers compromise, every answer leads to another question: what was Harvey Bell preserving—and what did he remove before anyone else could find it?

Set against snowy streets, church suppers, beeswax candles, and the warm bustle of small-town life, this cozy mystery blends buried family history, deadly secrets, and the satisfying unraveling of a community determined to keep its past tidy.

Perfect for readers who love atmospheric small towns, clever amateur sleuths, layered local secrets, and mysteries where the truth matters as much as the crime.
