The picturesque mountain town of Carolan Springs is typically a bastion of tranquility. But when whispers start swirling that Hope’s Herbal Shoppe was connected to a customer’s recent death, amateur sleuth Anne Freemont smells something rotten.
Her good friend Hope is one of the kindest, most ethical souls Anne knows. There’s no way the natural remedies from her shop could have led to such a tragic, untimely demise...right? Anne is determined to clear Hope’s name and unearth the truth before the toxic rumors choke out her business for good.
But as Anne digs into the victim’s last days, a twisted web of deception and deadly motives is unearthed. From shady supplement suppliers to bitter rivalries and shocking betrayals, it becomes frighteningly clear that someone is desperate to keep their involvement a secret...no matter the cost.
Can Anne sort the toxic mushrooms from the safe morels before the real culprit goes after her next? Or will her investigation permanently expose her to a fatally dangerous brand of foul play?
With an eccentric cast, laugh-out-loud moments, and masterfully planted clues, this delightful cozy mystery will keep you feverishly reading long past your bedtime. Dive into the delightfully chaotic world of Fungi Foul Play!
