The Silence of Autumn (Hayse Haven Mysteries)

Small towns are filled with living memories. For Autumn, reminders of how much she has lost and how little she has achieved haunt her every step. One thing is certain: she wants out of Hayse Haven. When she isn’t waiting tables in town, Autumn moonlights as the anonymous writer of the Hayse Haven Herald’s advice column under the pen name, Silence. When an unusual letter is written for her to answer, she decides it’s the perfect time to reveal her identity and force her editor to finally give her some more important news pieces to cover.

When the wealthiest man in town is murdered a day after the paper is published and a line from her latest article is the only evidence left at the scene, Autumn becomes part of the investigation as the sheriff scrambles for answers. Now she, along with the officer who has held a torch for her since high school, must find the murderer who is taunting them with Autumn’s words as things in their small town continue to go awry. With death lurking around every corner, tensions run high between the pair as feelings resurface amid the turmoil.

Will Autumn solve the murder before it’s too late, or is this one question she can’t answer?
