the Appalachian trail by way of a gorgeous waterfall—and its mysterious history. As the book begins, a string of unsolved disappearances that has haunted the town is once again thrust into the spotlight when journalist Landon West, who was staying at the inn to investigate the story of the vanishing trail, then disappears himself. When Landon’s brother Trey shows up looking for answers, Abby can’t help but feel the town closing ranks. When she finds incriminating evidence that may bring them closer to the truth, Abby soon discovers how little she knows about her co-workers, neighbors, and even those closest to her.

tHe HonorabLe mayor butterCuP
This summer, The Mooresville Youth Council announced Dog Mayor Buttercup the name of the newly elected 2022 Dog Mayor, the Honorable Buttercup. The outgoing Dog Mayor, the Honorable Daisy, was Mooresville’s first ever dog mayor and was elected last year after a third-grade class at Rocky River Elementary who had been studying local government reached out to Mayor Atkins about the possibility of electing a dog mayor for the Town of Mooresville. This year, the MYC held a contest again on their Instagram page, where Buttercup was elected with more than 4,000 votes. Congratulations, Buttercup, we know you’ll have a great year representing the town!
