Exclusive! Only Available When You Spend Over $7...

When the past won't stay buried, some secrets are worth finding...

Laura Evans left Boston with her life crammed into cardboard boxes and her career in tatters. The quaint Vermont town of Silver Springs promises a fresh start—a chance to manage a cozy café and learn who she is outside of work. But moving to a new place doesn't mean escaping problems.

Within hours of her arrival, Laura is pulled into a race against time when her grief-stricken landlady faces losing the last tangible connection to her deceased husband—precious anniversary cards that've mysteriously vanished.

Between unraveling family mysteries locked away in antique furniture, navigating the complex dynamics of quirky coworkers, and confronting her fears of inadequacy, Laura must decide: will she let her past define her, or will she finally allow herself to belong somewhere?

In a town where everyone's watching and kindness comes whether you want it or not, the question isn't whether Laura can solve other people's problems—it's whether she's brave enough to let them solve hers.

Sometimes, the best adventures begin when we finally stop running from ourselves.

“Murder At The Summer Cheese Festival by Jodie Morgan is the kind of cozy mystery that wraps around you like a warm blanket on a rainy day. Jodie Morgan’s writing is sharp yet comforting, with just the right amount of humor and heart. I laughed, I guessed (wrong), and I didn’t want it to end. If you love cozy mysteries with food, fun, and just a touch of murder—this is one book you absolutely need on your shelf.”

“I live in New England in the vicinity of Boston and Morgan’s wonderfully atmospheric descriptions of a small town in Vermont feel authentic and its characters believable. The attention to detail in the scene-setting was expertly aided by Jodie Morgan’s descriptive turn of phrase, making it very easy to imagine yourself in the locations she is describing, tasting the food and breathing in the fragrances. I loved how deliciously tasty this book was! It really was an enjoyable treat for all the senses with an atmosphere built through flavors, fragrances, and even soft textures described – all adding to the coziness of the novel. The murder mystery is a lot of fun as clues are uncovered bit by bit by the amateur sleuths. This book is highly recommended by me for fans of Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club books and other cozy mysteries.”

“This cozy mystery was a treat for both my mystery-loving heart and my cheese-loving brain. Laura Evans made for an intriguing amateur sleuth…a newcomer with heart, grit, and a growing sense of belonging in her quirky town. The idea that home isn’t where you come from, but where you’re truly seen and valued, is so true and close to heart. As a cozy mystery, it hits all the right notes: food, friendship, and just enough danger to make you keep the lights on a little longer.”

Devi, cozy mystery, fantasy thriller, and paranormal reader, book blogger, short story writer.

★★★★★

“Laura was a great protagonist and I can totally relate to the feeling of wanting to start over. The secondary cast really added to the story, with plenty of characters to keep you laughing and intrigued throughout the entire book. The author really nailed what it was like to live in a small town. There were plenty of suspects and red herrings, so I did not solve the mystery before it was revealed. It welcomed me to Silver Springs with open arms, and I am really excited to see where people of this town take me next!”

★★★★★

“This is the sort of book where I was able to play armchair detective. Everything feels real and believable. And the characters are the kind you pass while walking down the street, also real and believable. The research that went into this book was unbelievable – I'm convinced that after reading this book I could make cheese.”
