Drawn into the investigation, Harper relies on her sharp intuition, a stubborn streak, and the help of her new friends, quirky Maggie, and handsome apple orchard owner, Gabe. The deeper she digs, the more she uncovers a tangle of lies, a stolen golden-tipped quill, and whispers of history that someone is desperate to rewrite. Fall is a place where the leaves never stop turning, the air smells faintly of cinnamon, and secrets rustle just beneath the surface.
As crimson and gold leaves swirl through the streets, Harper must piece together clues hidden in her aunt’s old journals and outsmart a killer—before the final chapter ends with her.
Brimming with small-town charm, autumn magic, and page-turning intrigue, Autumn & Alibis is the perfect mystery to curl up with under a blanket and a pumpkin spice latte.
Jules Motschall writes cozy mysteries with a twist of charm, heart, romance, and just the right amount of intrigue. When she's not plotting crimes in the fictional town of Fall, Michigan, she's likely curled up with a good book, a strong cup of coffee, and a fall-scented candle. Autumn & Alibis is her debut novel and the first in the Hearth & Quill Mystery series. Originally from Michigan, Jules lives in Chicago, IL, with her husband, children, chickens, and a mini Goldendoodle.
