I almost put this book down once I figured out what it was about. It is so much more than a woman believing she is being stalked. However, I pushed through and rather enjoyed reading it once I got into the second half of the story. In the end, I was rooting for the main character in so many ways. Sorry -- not giving any spoilers.

A crossword constructor. A small-town mystery. Clues refusing to fit the grid.
Willa adored the whirlwind of Chicago and her job as a crossword-puzzle constructor for Ladies Home and Garden Magazine. But when a too-serious “fan” begins to worry her glamorous Aunt Goldie, Willa suddenly finds herself holding a one-way train ticket to sleepy Wisteria, Wisconsin.
But Wisteria isn’t the snoozy escape anyone expected. A chance encounter on the train leads to a startling discovery, pulling Willa straight into the heart of a small-town mystery. Surrounded by quirky locals, a lost husband, and a hint of danger drifting around the annual Arts and Crafts Show, Willa must uncover the truth before it’s too late.
Can she juggle her crossword deadlines, untangle long-buried family secrets, and discover who—or what—is haunting Wisteria?
The Traitor in the Trunk
When Kelsey Reed inherits her grandfather’s garage and finds a corpse in a car trunk, she must unravel the mystery before there’s another victim.
It was a year of change for Kelsey, and it was only April. Her husband of three years decided as Laird of Castle McDeannkorin to volunteer with the 6 SCOTS. A three-week commitment that turned into an operational deployment for the next ten months. Kelsey didn’t have long to wonder how she would fill her time. Her grandpa died a week after Aengus deployed, leaving Kelsey the sole owner of his house and business – an auto repair shop in Wisteria, Wisconsin – wherever that was.
As Kelsey worked to keep her
grandfather’s legacy alive and ensure the success of Gerbera’s Garage, she was
confronted by a series of troubling incidents. The situation escalated from the
alarming discovery that someone was using the auto shop to abandon vehicles, to
a far more disturbing revelation—a body was found in the trunk of one of the
dumped cars. This latest incident made it clear that Gerbera’s Garage was now
at the center of a much larger and more dangerous mystery. A mystery only she
could unravel.
Art of Deception
Every masterpiece tells a story—this one whispers murder.
In the picturesque town of Wisteria, Wisconsin, gallery owner Skye Johnson loves celebrating local art and the friends who create it. When photographer Lucas Cooper agrees to show his new collection honoring his late mentor, Skye can’t wait to display it—until one photo reveals something strange. Hidden in the image of the old Hendrickson barn, where Lucas’s mentor was found dead, is a detail that doesn’t belong.
Someone has added a painted clue—a
silent cry for help from a witness too afraid to speak. Now, Skye and Lucas
must unravel the mystery brushstroke by brushstroke before the truth—and the
artist—are buried for good.

One anonymous note catches Angie’s attention. What begins as idle curiosity draws her into Wisteria’s quiet undercurrents, where old misunderstandings linger, unspoken expectations shape lives, and some regrets need a little help. If she can find the writer.
Meanwhile, Angie’s childhood friend Rich is facing a crossroads of his own. Back in Wisteria after years away, he’s trying to decide whether to leave again or finally build a life in the place that still feels like home.

We’ve been
taught that it’s more blessed to give than to receive. But what if receiving is
just as sacred as giving? And what if the two were never meant to exist apart?
The Giving
on Purpose journal invites you to explore the powerful, often misunderstood
connection between giving and receiving. If you’ve ever felt like you give
endlessly—your time, love, energy, or resources—yet struggle to receive in
return, this journal was created for you.
Through
guided reflection and intentional prompts, Giving on Purpose gently opens your
heart and mind to conscious giving—helping you recognize where imbalance may be
blocking blessings and how aligning giving with receiving can transform your
spiritual and emotional well-being.
✨
Inside, you’ll discover how to:
• Release guilt around receiving
• Cultivate deeper gratitude in everyday
life
• Restore balance between generosity and
abundance
By the
final page, readers experience a renewed sense of self-worth, a deeper belief
in their God-given worthiness to receive, and a lasting attitude of gratitude.
Give
freely. Receive boldly. Live abundantly.
Giving on Purpose: How 30 Days of
Conscious Giving can Change Your Life
is your invitation to do all three—without guilt, fear, or limitation.

I’ve not read Ms. Adams before, but I am glad that I now have. This is the first in an 8-book series, and I can’t wait to dive into the second book of the series.
The series centers around four damaged women in the small town of Miracle Springs. In this, the first in the series, each has their own healing specialty, and their own tragic secret they’ve kept tight to the vest. That is, until the untimely death of a tourist in town brings them together as they search for the killer and wade through the deception of several unscrupulous businesspeople in town trying to sell new homes to be built in a new subdivision.
The interesting part of this book, and I’ll find out in the second if the theme continues, is how, through their unusual ways, they help people heal from their darkness. Even the bad guys.
I highly recommend this for those who love a good cozy mystery.
