Fall has arrived in picturesque Cinnamon Falls, and café owner Harper Lane is perfecting her signature pumpkin spice blend for the annual Spice & Harvest Festival competition. With famous food blogger Savannah Bloom judging this year's entries, winning could put Harper's quaint Whisking Leaves café on the culinary map. But when Savannah is found floating in the historic mill pond the morning after the festival gala -- with traces of Harper's unique spice blend found in her lungs -- the cozy competition turns deadly. Suddenly, Harper finds herself the prime suspect, her reputation in tatters, and her beloved café closed by police order.

Determined to clear her name, Harper teams up with her teenage barista Tessa and best friend Maggie to investigate Cinnamon Falls' secrets. Between her café rival Gloria Finch's smug accusations, gruff farmer Eddie Whitlock's mysterious opposition to town development plans, and retired history teacher Norman Crisp's obsession with the mill's mechanisms, Harper uncovers a web of motives more complex than any recipe. Even Detective Miles Rowan, whose professional demeanor can't quite hide his growing attraction to Harper, is following evidence that all points in her direction.

As Harper delves deeper into the town's hidden rivalries and long-simmering resentments, she realizes the killer has more planned than just framing her for murder. With the festival competition rapidly approaching and more evidence mounting against her, Harper must identify the culprit before they decide she's becoming too troublesome to leave alive. In Cinnamon Falls, it seems the most dangerous ingredient isn't in the pumpkin spice -- it's the secrets bubbling just beneath the surface of this seemingly perfect small town.
