Corn to Be Wild: A Cozy Mystery (Harvest Hollow Mysteries Book 1)

Coming home was supposed to be temporary. Murder has other plans.

Maisy Masson returns to Harvest Hollow, Michigan, expecting to spend a few weeks helping her grandmother prepare Masson Farm’s famous corn maze for the autumn festival. Then she’ll head back to her real life.

At least, that’s the plan.

But opening night takes a deadly turn when Maisy has a very public argument with neighboring landowner Weston Hallwell over a disputed property boundary. Hours later, Weston is found dead inside Maisy’s corn maze.

And someone has gone to considerable trouble to make Maisy look guilty.

A Masson Farm hat lies beside the body. A trail of blood points toward the farmhouse. And half the town heard Maisy tell Weston exactly what she thought of him.

With Sheriff Raleigh Ross investigating and suspicion closing in, Maisy starts asking her own questions. But the deeper she digs, the stranger Weston’s final days become. Altered property records, secret meetings, missing money, and a development project nobody seems willing to explain suggest that Weston was hiding far more than a boundary dispute.

Someone in Harvest Hollow wanted him silenced.

And if Maisy follows the clues far enough, she might be next.

With a twisty mystery, autumn festivals, small-town secrets, farm-fresh treats, and a hint of romance, Corn to Be Wild is the first book in the Harvest Hollow Mysteries.
