Some stories don't stay buried.
When Midnight Cooper inherits a small candle shop in the mountain town of Sisters, Oregon, she expects quiet work, familiar routines, and a chance to start over.
What she doesn't expect is a girl who walks into the shop asking for something that can't quite be explained, and disappears not long after.
When the girl's body is found on a forest road outside of town, Midnight realizes the encounter was not a coincidence.
As she begins to follow the small, quiet details others overlook, a pattern emerges, one that leads toward a closed community on the edge of town and a man with a history.
In a place where people keep to themselves and visits from outsiders get noticed, asking questions comes with a cost.
Dark Among the Pines is the first book in the Needful Wicks Mystery series. An atmospheric cozy mystery featuring a small town, intuitive sleuthing, and a touch of the unexplained.
