Premise:
After a messy divorce, Hazel Thornfield retreats to a moss-covered cottage in Briarwood Hollow, craving peace. Instead, she discovers a corpse in the pumpkin patch—and the unnerving ability to hear plants whispering about what they’ve seen. With the Samhain Eve festival days away, Hazel must navigate nosy neighbors, generational land disputes, and the town’s subtle magical traditions to uncover the killer. Guided by Bramble, a black cat with more than a little magic of his own, Hazel learns that some roots run tangled in darkness. If she can’t solve the mystery in time, the town’s annual protection ritual will fail, leaving Briarwood Hollow exposed to dangers far worse than murder.
