When the Golden Acorn, Maple Hollow's most treasured festival trophy, mysteriously disappears just days before the annual Harvest Festival, Nora Finch can't simply ignore it.

With muddy footprints near the gazebo, a mysterious golden acorn charm, a nervous committee chair, and a witness who saw someone in a grey coat running through the night, Nora begins following a trail of clues.

But the mystery is more complicated than it first appears. Behind the missing trophy are secrets, fear, loyalty, and someone desperately trying to protect a person they care about.

As Nora uncovers the truth, she discovers that not every mystery has a villain. Sometimes, people make difficult choices because they are afraid, worried, or simply trying to help.

The Golden Acorn: A Maple Hollow Mystery is a cozy small-town mystery filled with clues, friendship, compassion, and an unexpected ending — with one more mystery waiting just around the corner.
