A Bitter Harvest

Book 1.5

A Bitter Harvest book cover with skull, pile of dirt on a golden background.

Murder, seeds, and secrets—all rooted in one small town.

When a body is discovered in Nick Bronson’s greenhouse, police are quick to settle on their suspect. But Tessa Myre knows her friend isn’t a killer—not even to protect his rare seed collection and family farm.

Determined to clear Nick’s name, Tessa starts asking questions around Jordan Hollow. What she uncovers includes old academic rivalries, struggling farmers, and outside interests with more at stake than they’re willing to admit.

As suspicion spreads and tensions rise, Tessa must separate rumor from truth before an innocent man loses his livelihood—and the real killer disappears into the fields.

In Jordan Hollow, even the richest soil can hide dangerous secrets.

This cozy mystery novella can be enjoyed as a first introduction to the Jordan Hollow Mysteries or as a bonus story between Books 1 and 2.

A small-town cozy mystery set in Ontario’s agricultural heartland, perfect for fans of amateur sleuths, community secrets, and gentle culinary whodunits.
