A Storm, a Stranger, and a Festival Full of Secrets.

When autumn storms sweep through Cedar Grove, Iris Bennett is barely keeping her flower shop afloat amid festival frenzy. Help arrives unexpectedly in the form of Sadie, a rain-soaked stranger with floral know-how, infectious enthusiasm, and a knack for comic mishaps. Between Sadie’s cheer, Iris’s dry wit, and Winston, her imperious one-eyed Persian cat, “supervising” every move, the Harvest Festival finally seems within reach.

Everything changes when a body is discovered in the town’s famed Pumpkin Maze, turning celebration into scandal. A floral mix-up ties Perfect Petals to the scene, making Iris the subject of small-town whispers. Determined to protect her reputation, she and Sadie follow a twisting trail of secrets, from old flames to buried grudges, uncovering far more than anyone expected.

As lanterns glow and rumors spread like autumn wind, Iris must rely on her instincts, Sadie’s surprising boldness, and one meddlesome cat to catch a killer before betrayal takes root for good.
