The Path That Turns Toward Spring
(2025)(The fourth book in the Mailbox Mysteries series)
A novel by Melanie Lageschulte
A stash of stolen cash, a local landmark on the brink of extinction … Kate Duncan is back to take on her biggest case yet.
It’s bad enough that Eagle River’s livestock auction barn, which has been in business since the late 1800s, might be put up for sale. As one of the area’s largest employers, the family-owned company is a cornerstone of the local economy. But it's the ominous collection-agency notices appearing in residents’ mailboxes that tell Kate something is seriously wrong.
As it turns out, those farmers aren't at fault; someone has been swiping cash from the auction barn’s accounts for years. Tens of thousands of dollars are missing, and whispers claim the barn’s historic sale pavilion is more like a house of cards. Greed, betrayal, and indifference may be to blame … and Kate soon realizes danger could be afoot, as well.
As the official investigators turn to their high-tech tools, Kate and her friends decide old-school gossip is their best bet to crack this case. Can they find the answers they need before the gavel hits the auction block?
