When a smug TV historian turns up dead at a scenic waterfall, a retired librarian, her fiercely curious friends, and a golden retriever with a nose for truth uncover a century-old family scandal—and stir up more danger than tea.

Welcome to Brevard, North Carolina—where the azaleas bloom bright, the sweet tea never stops flowing, and the local book club keeps stumbling across dead bodies.

When celebrity documentarian Chase Landon is found murdered beneath the mist of Looking Glass Falls, the Tuesday Night Book Club is first on the scene—and first to suspect something more sinister than a tragic fall. With a cryptic warning pinned to his shirt and a trail of town secrets stretching back over a century, the ladies soon uncover a buried legacy, a forged inheritance, and a secret child lost to history.

But someone in Brevard will do anything to keep the past hidden—including threatening a young production assistant, breaking into a beloved antique shop, and attacking anyone who gets too close to the truth.

Armed with notebooks, baked goods, and an unruly golden retriever named Nick Danger, the Tuesday Night Book Club sets out to untangle the mystery. But as tensions rise and old power cracks, they’ll have to decide: how far will they go to expose the truth? And can they solve the case before one of their own becomes the next chapter in a very deadly story?

Witty, warm, and whip-smart, Murder in the Mountains is a small-town mystery with a big heart, proving that sometimes justice wears reading glasses—and carries a casserole.
