Purchase includes a FREE download of a song from the book.

When you find a friend, neck twisted, blood in her hair, dead behind the stage where you performed just an hour ago, you could run away and not look back, or you could do everything possible, even risk your own life, to find her killer.

On a farm nestled in a valley between verdant mountains, music and murder mix at the Oak Hill Folk Festival. This cozy murder mystery is steeped in music and includes links to recordings of five original songs written and performed by the main characters.

Singer-songwriter Sam Cook arrives at Oak Hill Farm expecting to perform with her trio, catch up with friends, and confront a man who ghosted her. But when she discovers her friend Kat’s body, she feels responsible for finding her killer. Sam knows Oak Hill like the back of her hand, and she’s known the local sheriff so long he’s almost family. He tells Sam to leave the investigation to him. She ignores his advice and heads straight into trouble.

Sam’s stubborn persistence pays off and she finds the clue that solves both murders, but the killer is one step behind her – and intent on making her victim number three. Can she survive an attempt on her own life and bring Kat’s murderer to justice?

Can Sam solve Kat’s murder, and find love along the way? Immerse yourself in the musical scene at the Oak Hill Folk Festival and find out.
