About Death at the Heritage Press: A Small-Town Inheritance Secrets Cozy Mystery

Tessa Hart has spent four murders untangling Sweetfern’s prettiest lies. Now the whole town is about to watch them bleed. The Founders’ Jubilee should mark a new beginning for Hart’s Run.

Instead, when the chair of the heritage trust dies during the public pressing ceremony, the festival turns into a battlefield before noon. The town splits, old families close ranks, and the same people who spent years protecting Sweetfern’s polished founding myth start scrambling to control what comes out next. This time, the stakes are everything.

Tessa is no longer just chasing a killer. She is fighting for her home, her business, her aunt Rose’s name, and the truth about who really built Sweetfern. Because hidden beneath the cider toasts, heritage speeches, and smiling descendants lies the final secret Rose died trying to prove: the First Press Ledger was not a local scandal.

It was the start of a fraud that shaped the whole town. With powerful suspects circling the evidence and public pressure turning vicious, Tessa must force the truth into daylight before it is buried for good. But exposing the killer could cost her Hart’s Run, her future with Deputy Nate Mercer, and the one thing Sweetfern has protected above all else for generations:its story.
