In the quaint town of Meadowgrove, a chilling wind blew. The annual harvest festival was in full swing. Laughter echoed through the bustling streets, intermingling with the scent of apple cider. Suddenly, the merriment was cut short. A scream pierced the cool autumn air. The crowd parted, revealing a grim sight. In the town square, a body lay lifeless on the cobblestones. Beside it, a shattered pumpkin, its contents eerily spilled. Blood seeped into the cracks, staining the stone red. The festival's joy turned into a shivering horror. The town's peace was shattered, replaced by a haunting puzzle. Now, Meadowgrove had a murder mystery to solve.
