Blades and Betrayal (Cedarwood Hollow Mysteries, #3)

Blades & Betrayal
A Cedarwood Hollow Mystery
Cedarwood Hollow's annual Viking Festival promises epic costumes, spirited reenactments, and more mead than you can shake a broadsword at. But when a beloved performer is killed mid-battle with what was supposed to be a replica sword, the celebration turns deadly. The killer disappears into the sea of costumed festivalgoers—leaving the entire town under suspicion.
Bestselling mystery writer Emma Prescott wasn't planning to investigate another murder. But after witnessing the crime firsthand—and with Sheriff Jack Cooper reluctant to accept her help—she can't resist doing a little sleuthing of her own. With clues scattered from the blacksmith booth to the mead tent, Emma must sort through old feuds, local legends, and more than one suspicious Viking.
As the festival's secrets come to light, Emma realizes the killer's motive is far more personal than anyone expected. And if she wants to catch them before they strike again, she'll have to face her own secrets—especially the one that could change everything with Jack.
In Cedarwood Hollow, the past always finds a way to catch up with you. And sometimes, it comes armed.
