The Fern Valley Cold Case

A Fern Valley Cozy Mystery

An old, blood-stained copper box.
A 150-year-old cover-up.
Bones buried in the wall of a basement.

When Ethel Cromwell discovers an old box hidden beneath the town library, she has no idea what she’s about to unravel. Inside lies the key to Fern Valley’s oldest, and most carefully kept secret. With the support of her curious band of amateur sleuths and one very reluctant sheriff, Ethel follows a trail of forgotten passageways, dusty journals, old wills, and shady land deals that never should have seen the light of day.

With her trademark wit, fierce loyalty, and a pinch of mischief, Ethel pushes past the warnings and the threats from the descendants of the town fathers. As the truth begins to surface, so does a body long hidden… and a conspiracy that could destroy the families who founded Fern Valley.

Can Ethel piece it all together in time to preserve the town’s history, or...will someone find her old bones buried in a wall as well?

Good story with fun twists

Hate the AI narrative. No real emotion and some mispronounced words made it hard to stay on track.
