When your neighbor threatens everything you love, murder starts looking reasonable.
Four months after solving her first murder, librarian Tessa Hartwell hoped Fog Harbor’s biggest problems would go back to gossip, overdue books, and Waffles stealing attention. Then Eleanor Blackwood turns up dead at the bottom of her stairs, and Tessa stops being surprised.
Eleanor wasn’t just the town’s most insufferable newcomer. Hidden in her cottage, Tessa and Waffles uncover her real agenda: a calculated scheme to drive Fog Harbor’s business owners into financial ruin and buy up their properties for pennies. She’d already done it to other towns. Someone in Fog Harbor made sure she wouldn’t get the chance to do it here.
Now half the town had a reason to want Eleanor stopped. With neighbors hiding secrets and accusations flying, Tessa must figure out who crossed the line from motive to murder.
Because in a community where everyone knows everyone, the most dangerous enemy might be the one hiding in plain sight.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
