Murder on Maple Lane A Gay Cozy Mystery By Griff Holland In Mapleton Heights, every mailbox has a story-and one of them just delivered a severed finger. Theo Price, small-town mail carrier and amateur crossword constructor, prefers his mysteries in puzzle form. But when a grisly delivery turns up on his route and an elderly widow is accused of murder, Theo finds himself drawn into a decades-old secret that the perfectly trimmed hedges of Mapleton were never meant to reveal. With the help of Iris, a sharp-tongued barista with a passion for local history, and Jake Vasquez, the town's stoic and very off-limits patrol officer, Theo follows a trail of coded clues, vintage love letters, and buried betrayals. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes: someone in Mapleton is rewriting history-and they'll do anything to keep the past buried. Warm, witty, and steeped in small-town secrets, Murder on Maple Lane is the first book in Griff Holland's charming new series blending slow-burn gay romance with twisty amateur sleuthing. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with heart, humor, and a little heat.
