A charming lakeside town, a weekend trip gone sideways, and one warm-hearted coffee shop owner-turned-sleuth who can’t help meddling!
Stella Ray rolls into Marigold Hollow craving comfort food, and quiet moments. Instead, a local has collapsed dead in the Blue Spruce Cafe sending the community into shock and speculation. Rex, Stella’s spunky American Bulldog, treats every mystery like a personal mission.
Maude Harper, with her grandmotherly sass, brings heart and havoc wherever she goes. Sheriff Jake Leland is no-nonsense, quietly observant, and perpetually exasperated by the town’s chaos.
The town may look postcard-perfect, but its residents come wrapped in quirks and guarded secrets. A nervous cafe’ owner. A shop owner with a too-perfect smile. A magician with a grudge. Everyone has a story about the victim… none of which are good
Drawn in by concern and curiosity, Stella learns that behind every smile and laugh, a secret might be quietly lurking. Now she and Rex must uncover the truth before trouble finds its next target…..perhaps Stella herself.
