The body was staged. The truth was buried. And someone miscalculated.
Spring in Riverbend should smell like lavender and fresh starts. Instead, Bonnie Reed finds a man face-down in the flowers before her morning coffee has a chance to help.
Hired to care for a quiet farm and its opinionated animals, Bonnie expects a peaceful stretch of pet-sitting. What she gets is a murder tied to land deals, old grudges, and a town that isn’t entirely sorry the victim is gone. With Ziggy at her side and instincts she pretends not to trust, she starts pulling at threads that don’t want to be found.
Nora Vance had every reason to want Garrett Foss off her land, especially after his relentless push to take it. Douglas Pryce handled the paperwork that made those deals possible, and he is hiding just enough to be dangerous. Both look guilty. Neither quite fits.
But the truth is rooted deeper. And the closer Bonnie gets, the more dangerous the ground becomes.
Because someone already made one irreversible mistake. And they are not about to let Bonnie uncover it.
