Murder at Maisie's (Silver Pines Mysteries, #1)

Welcome to Silver Pines, where handcrafted furniture isn’t the only thing being pieced together—so are the clues to a murder!

After college, Clare Garner couldn’t wait to return home and take over her family’s beloved furniture gallery. While custom builds pay the bills, her true passion is restoring pieces for the quirky townsfolk she considers family. She’s always believed that every piece of furniture holds a story—sometimes even a secret.

Working alongside her high school sweetheart, Jackson Barrett, Clare has built a thriving business and is on the verge of landing her first major corporate project. But just as she’s preparing for a bright future, her past walks into town—Blake Catalano, her college ex, who seems to be hiding something of his own.

When a shocking crime shakes Silver Pines, Clare finds herself in an impossible position—both Jackson and Blake are suspects in a brutal murder. With her sharp attention to detail and natural puzzle-solving skills, she’s the only one who can untangle the truth. But as old flames reignite, tensions rise, and a killer remains on the loose, Clare must uncover the secrets hidden beneath the surface before the next victim falls.

Because, as she always says, every piece has a story… but some stories end in murder.

Perfect for fans of small-town charm, slow-burn romance, and intricately woven mysteries, this cozy whodunit will keep you guessing until the very last page.
