One sealed capsule. One impossible find. One deadly secret.
When Riverbend gathers outside the community church to unearth a decades-old time capsule, pet-sitter Bonnie Reed expects polite speeches and folding chairs. Instead, she stumbles into murder. The town’s disgraced former historical society chair is found dead near the church, clutching an object that should’ve stayed buried for years.
Clumsy, curious, and impossible to ignore, Bonnie can’t shake the details that don’t add up. With her sharp-nosed dachshund Ziggy at her side, and Sheriff Brent Cordell making it clear this is not her case, Bonnie starts tugging at loose threads. Conspiracy-theorist mailman Stan Dupree claims he handled a mysterious package tied to the capsule, knowledge he really shouldn’t have. And café owner Evan Bailey had paid the victim hush money to keep an old scandal quiet…until the threats started again.
As timelines collapse and secrets surface, Bonnie realizes the past has been tampered with.
The truth has a ticking clock, and the deadline is death.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
