Bonfire & Betrayal by Jules Motschall

As Fall, Michigan prepares for its beloved Autumn Blaze Festival, bookstore owner Harper Whitmore is pulled into the decade-old disappearance of Thomas Pennington from Maple Grove Dairy. With true-crime podcasters Lena Cross and Theo Marsh helping to dig into the past, Harper uncovers secret loans, suspicious land records, old romances, and a betrayal someone would rather keep buried. Bonfire & Betrayal is a cozy, page-turning mystery filled with small-town secrets, slow-burn romance, and all the autumn charm of Fall, Michigan.
