A gloomy garden shop. A sinister secret. And a mystery that refuses to stay in tune.
Pepper Plantz has spent her strange, sheltered life longing for one forbidden thing: a connection to the brother and sister she's never met. But when she's suddenly cast out of her family's bizarre greenhouse empire and dropped into a world of glittering lies, suspicious serums, and off-key karaoke nights, her search for belonging takes a dangerous turn.
Meanwhile, lifestyle maven November Bean-a woman of order, monochrome outfits, and precisely scheduled self-care-finds her perfectly curated life upended by the arrival of a frizzy-haired girl in polka dots, barefoot optimism, and an alarming number of questions.
When chaos meets couture, November and her best friend Lanie Anders-Hill must untangle a mystery as twisted as an overgrown tomato vine. Secrets hum beneath the surface, loyalties shift, and someone is willing to silence the music for good.
In Piney Falls, even a karaoke night can end in murder.
The Ballad of Screech and Friday is a warm, witty cozy mystery filled with eccentric characters, unexpected friendships, and just enough danger to keep you turning pages long past last call.
Perfect for fans of humorous, character-driven cozy mysteries with heart.
