A riverside regatta. A poisoned sticky bun. And a killer with a score to settle.

The annual Willowby River Regatta is in full swing, with boats slicing through the water and crowds lining the banks. Tamsin Blake and Iris are serving up their famous sticky buns from the Velvet Scone Café stall, soaking in the sunshine and small town buzz.

Until a competitor drops dead mid-event.

When a visiting rower collapses after eating a sticky bun, the celebration grinds to a halt. With only one bun tampered with, it is clear this was no accident. Someone had a target in mind.

As whispers of rivalries and past scandals ripple through the regatta, suspicion falls on everyone from fierce competitors to uneasy newcomers. Tamsin cannot ignore the clues, especially when evidence suggests the poisoned bun was switched into her stall.

Determined to clear her name and uncover the truth, Tamsin follows a trail of secrets, grudges, and quiet betrayals hidden beneath Willowby’s friendly façade.

Because in Willowby, even a day on the river can turn deadly.

And this time, revenge is being served sweet.
