Old Scars: A Maiden Harlow Mystery - Book 9
A winter festival. A deadly secret. And a friend's life hanging in the balance.
Golden Glen's Winterfest is the perfect celebration of snow, tradition, and small-town charm. For Kylie, the Harlow House Inn's shy but talented chef, it's also her chance to shine in the town's prestigious cooking contest.
But when someone from Kylie's past arrives with a hateful grudge, the celebration turns into her nightmare. When that old enemy is murdered, Kylie is the prime suspect. And someone is clearly determined to make sure she takes the blame.
With her friend's reputation and future on the line, Maiden can't stand by and watch an innocent person be accused. Using her extraordinary memory and eye for detail, she begins uncovering the secrets hidden beneath Winterfest’s cheerful façade.
But this investigation hits closer to home than expected. Maiden and David are navigating family tensions, old wounds, and the challenges of once again investigating together. They soon discover that everyone is keeping secrets.
With more than one painful past revealed and the body count rising, Maiden and David must solve the case before the killer strikes again—and before Kylie's dreams disappear forever.
Old Scars is the ninth book in the Maiden Harlow Mysteries, a dark cozy mystery series featuring an innkeeper with an extraordinary memory, an experienced detective, slow-burn romance, beloved small-town characters, and twist-filled whodunits.
Perfect for fans of amateur sleuths, winter mysteries, small-town secrets, female detectives, and cozy mysteries with bite.

About the author
Camille Sharp
12 books7 followersI write dark cozy mysteries full of secrets, atmosphere, and heroines who are smart, sexy, and stronger than they realize. I’ve been crafting stories since childhood, starting with notebooks, moving to a brick‑like laptop, and eventually finding my voice in twisty mysteries with heart.
My books blend suspense, romance, friendship, and the messy beauty of family. I believe stories are escape hatches—small, powerful worlds we can slip into when reality gets too loud.
If you love cozies with shadows, heat, and emotional depth, I’d love to welcome you into my fictional worlds.
