Dead Cold in Willow Grove

By: J.W. Wise

Narrated by: Sharon Cope

Amelia, Willow Grove's librarian, discovers a book that doesn't belong while doing inventory at the library. She finds a hidden note about a secret meeting in the woods. Amelia cannot resist the urge to investigate, accompanied by Baxter, her loyal American Bully, for protection. In Willow Grove, reality dances on the edge of a dream, and the shadows reach out to grab the residents and embrace them.

In this small town, you'll hear whispers of magic. On her way through the woods, Amelia discovers Harold Finch’s body—dead and cold—with an old family photo in his hand. Shivers run down her spine as she calls the police. They arrive, seal off the crime scene, and send Amelia on her way.

Days pass, and unhappy with the police work that was done, she launches an investigation of her own. With a little mischief, she and Baxter discover an amulet at the center of a family feud between the Finch and Davenport families. Amelia reveals some dark secrets and foul play. With the unknowing help of her best friend Margo, who, as the town's hairdresser, knows all the gossip going around, Amelia narrows down the list of suspects based on their motives.

By uncovering the truth, will she bury herself when the killer realizes who is unraveling their crime, or will she get justice for the town's historian, Mr. Harold Finch?
