In the charming seaside village of Crabapple Cove, the annual autumn fair is the event of the year - and this year's centrepiece is a pumpkin so magnificent it has its own waiting list of admirers. When it vanishes without a trace on the eve of the fair, the whole village erupts in finger-pointing, gossip, and barely concealed panic.
Retired schoolteacher Agnes Plum has a gift for spotting a lie - decades in the classroom will do that to a person. Armed with sharp instincts, a steady supply of tea, and a refusal to be fobbed off, she begins pulling at the threads of Crabapple Cove's cosy surface. What she finds underneath is a tangle of old rivalries, bruised pride, and secrets that certain villagers would go to surprising lengths to protect.
With twenty-four hours until the fair opens and a culprit still at large, Agnes must untangle the truth before the whole event - and the village's fragile peace - collapses entirely.
Warm, witty, and utterly satisfying, The Great Pumpkin Predicament is the perfect autumn read for fans of cozy village mysteries, endearing amateur sleuths, and the firm belief that every problem is better faced with a fresh pot of tea.
