Gold Dust Deception: A Gold Country Cozy Mystery
A reputation for gold strikes brought two young dreamers to Miner's Hollow. It also brought a killer. A Quiet Inn with a Loud Problem
Mary Sutter has learned to expect almost anything while running a 175-year-old inn on her own while her husband serves overseas. Leaky pipes. Demanding guests. The occasional cold spot on the staircase that her daughter insists is not just a draft. What she does not expect is murder. When Tyler Brennan and Brianna Cross check into The Assay House Inn they are still riding high from a viral post about the gold nugget they found in the American River. They came back to Miner's Hollow hoping to find more. By morning they are dead and the whole town is left asking who wanted that gold badly enough to kill for it. Secrets Buried Deeper Than Gold

As rumors spread faster than the local gossip trio can bake a pie, Mary starts noticing what everyone else misses. A missing note. An old grudge. A neighbor who knows more than she should about a spot no tourist could find on their own.
With her sharp-eyed teenage daughter Zoe at her side and a stubborn orange tabby determined to get underfoot at the worst possible moments, Mary follows the trail from a hidden clue to a forgotten stretch of river with a history all its own.
But she is not the only one still searching. And the closer she gets to the truth the more her charming historic inn starts to feel like exactly the wrong place to be standing. Check In If You Dare

If you love small town secrets, a mother daughter sleuthing duo and a slow simmering mystery with just a touch of the supernatural you will feel right at home at The Assay House Inn. Check in. Pour some coffee. Just do not go looking for gold on your own.
