Allie Cobb Mystery

When a New York City literary agent returns to her small hometown to bury her father, murder is the one plot twist she didn't see coming. Allie Cobb thought she'd left Rushing Creek, Indiana, behind for good, carving out a name for herself in Manhattan's literary world, far from her famous father's shadow. But when his sudden death brings her - and her feisty rescue cat, Ursula - back home, Allie's barely unpacked before tragedy strikes again. Her father's bestselling client is found dead under the town's historic bridge, and Allie's childhood friend is the prime suspect. With the Fall Festival looming and gossip swirling like autumn leaves, Allie dusts off her fact-checking skills and dives into small-town secrets. With a charming genealogist clouding her focus and danger closing in, Allie must solve the mystery before the killer writes her off for good. Perfect for fans of small-town cozies, witty sleuths, and bookish whodunits.

Murder takes a page out of a killer's playbook - and now literary agent Allie Cobb is her Indiana hometown's top suspect. Juggling her family's literary agency, her best friend's wedding, and a stubborn rescue cat who refuses to befriend her boyfriend's golden retriever, Allie doesn't have time for scandal. But when her former prom date - now a known drunk and troublemaker - is found dead in a pile of mulch at her late father's memorial park, the finger points straight at her. Now, with the park's grand opening days away, Allie must dig into a tangled web of politics, long-held secrets, and high-profile enemies. The deeper she gets, the more dangerous the truth becomes. To clear her name, Allie will need to crack the case before this story ends with her behind bars.
