Coming in April 2026
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.
