The Widow of Willow Creek

Vera Lindqvist runs the Willow Creek Weekly out of the same press room her mother used, and she has been calling the county sheriff for a year about the orchard fire. Gideon Marsh answers calls about fires. He doesn't answer calls about newspaper stories. But the old man who died in the orchard had been signing papers he never read, for a decade, for a man nobody in town suspects. When the threatening notes start, and then the printing press breaks, Vera finds out she was right about everything except how much she'd need the sheriff's help. He's forty-seven. She's twenty-four. He has a badge, she has a press, and the town is watching both of them. A cozy age gap amateur sleuth mystery romance about a small town, a small paper, and one fire that wasn't an accident.
