When skeletons hide behind dusty stacks of books, the truth won’t stay buried forever.

Rainbow always thought running the family Sub Shop was her husband Martin’s superpower—hers was feeding hearts, not stomachs. But when the men and boys head out on a weeklong fishing trip, she’s suddenly the cook, the manager, the chauffeur, and the peacekeeper... all while trying to keep her family (and the sandwiches) from falling apart.

Things go sideways fast.

Her sharp-tongued mother-in-law decides this is the perfect week for a visit. Her daughter crosses paths with a mystery man. And someone is stirring up real trouble in town—dangerous trouble that’s leaving behind more than just broken glass and bad memories.

Now Rainbow must piece together a buried past before the killer tears apart her family’s future.

Heartfelt, witty, and rich with small-town charm, this cozy mystery will keep you turning pages late into the night—and hugging your loved ones a little tighter.
