Some puzzles are worth getting lost in...
Laura Evans thought moving to Silver Springs meant leaving surprises behind. After uprooting her entire life from Boston, all she wanted was predictable days and a fresh start in the quaint Vermont town she and her grandmother often visited.
But when a mysterious vintage cookie jar appears in her moving boxes—one she didn't pack—Laura discovers it contains a secret. Inside is a handwritten clue in her grandmother's distinctive purple ink.
With Isaac 'Izzy' Lennox, an enthusiastic young man from the local apple farm who arrives at her door with homemade pickles, Laura finds herself chasing riddles from the cozy Creekside Tearoom to the community theater's costume collection.
Each clue reveals another piece of her grandmother's connection to this close-knit town—and introduces Laura to neighbors who seem remarkably eager to help a stranger.
As Laura follows the trail...she begins to wonder...how does and why everyone in Silver Springs seems to know exactly who she is?
Sometimes the most beautiful secrets are the ones that bring you home.

Here’s What Some Readers Say About The Series...
★★★★★
“Enjoyable read, lots of interesting characters. I was kept guessing until the very end.”
— Deb S., cozy mystery, historical, contemporary, and non-fiction reader, Wisconsinite.
★★★★★
“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.”
— Paul Lawrence, cozy mystery, thriller, and fantasy reader, trekkie, New Yorker.
★★★★★
“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.”
— S. Bavey, author of memoir, family history, and biographies, book reviewer, blogger, mother of two, English, Bay Stater.
★★★★★
“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!”
— Ashley Gillan, cozy mystery, historical romance, history, and YA reader, journalist, dog lover, photographer, book blogger and reviewer, Pennsylvanian.
★★★★★
“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.”
— Sarah Wittle, childrens/young adult book blogger, reviewer, primary school librarian, mystery and thriller reader.

Meet The Characters
The Setting: Silver Springs
Nestled among the Green Mountains, Silver Springs' downtown is lined historic buildings. In the center of it all is the General Store, filling the air with the scent of delicious regional specialties and locally roasted coffee.
This community thrives on small but meaningful rituals: club meetings, regulars claiming their favorite tables at local eateries, and neighbors greeting each other by name as they stroll through Moss Ridge Nature Preserve. Winding country roads lead deeper into the mountains of the surrounding Maplewood County.
