A Muzzled Murder

Amelia Hartford hoped running the Maple Leaf Inn would mean peaceful mornings, friendly guests, and long walks with her mischievous dog Bailey.

But when a grieving mother arrives searching for answers about her son’s death ten years earlier, Amelia finds herself drawn into a mystery Maplewood never fully explained.

With her witty best friend Lila always ready for adventure, Amelia begins uncovering clues hidden in old photographs, secret bank records, and a mysterious safe-deposit key.

The deeper she digs, the more suspicious the past becomes. Former sheriff Hank Ross closed the case far too quickly. Local mechanic Jimmy Dale, once the victim’s closest friend, seems to know more than he admits. 

As soon as the case is officially reopened, the threats start showing up. Amelia must find the killer fast before she becomes the next victim.
