Welcome to Cinnamon Falls! The cosy murder mystery series with a romantic twist, perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls, Pretty Little Liars, The Pumpkin Spice Café, and cinnamon buns.
After a humiliating breakup in the big city, Nia is retreating to her sleepy hometown of Cinnamon Falls where she can sulk about her life being a mess in peace. When she arrives, the town is gearing up for their annual Fall Fest. People travel from far and wide to bob apples, carve pumpkins, and see the annual Cinnamon King and Queen be crowned.
But just a few days before opening night, a shocking discovery is made. A body is uncovered in the local diner, alongside a note: Who will be next?
Nia must team up with the eclectic residents of Cinnamon Falls to solve the case, including her tall, dark, and handsome high school ex-boyfriend, Jesse, who she never quite got over… Can they solve the case before the killer strikes again?
Tropes:
- Slow burn
- Amateur sleuth

About the Author
R. L. Killmore is the pseudonym for US-based author Necole Ryse. Necole has been writing since she was four years old, when she triumphantly wrote her ABC's on the hood of her grandmother's brand new Volvo. When she's not writing, she's weeping into a stack of unfinished manuscripts, abandoning exercise regimens, scolding innocent children in libraries, or listening to other people's conversations.
