When a mansion's antique shop soft opening turns deadly, event planner Ivy Schaeffer is drawn into a tangled web of Carmel’s high-society secrets.
Hired by newcomer Rebecca Avery to orchestrate the event, Ivy’s celebration comes to a halt when Rebecca’s mother-in-law vanishes—only to be discovered lifeless behind a concealed room’s satin curtains.
While a skeptical detective dismisses her suspicions, Rebecca insists on Ivy’s help. With her sharp-witted friend Phyllis and her ever-curious cat Fable by her side, Ivy dives into an investigation teeming with betrayal and long-buried grudges.
The list of suspects is as complex as the mystery itself: Rebecca, the bickering daughter-in-law; a grieving daughter who blames her for a life of loss; a philandering husband with secrets to protect; and Rebecca’s sociopath older sister harboring decades of hatred.
As Ivy uncovers clues from a 1970 photograph and unearths the house’s forgotten history, she pieces together a narrative of jealousy, betrayal, and revenge.
But with danger closing in, can she solve the mystery before the killer silences her—or someone else—forever?
