The New York Times bestselling author of Dying
for a Cupcake returns with a new mystery filled with
lost family, hidden treasure, and long-buried secrets…
Five-and-dime store owner Devereaux “Dev”
Sinclair moved to Shadow Bend for her family. But when her
long-lost mother shows up in town, she realizes too much kin
can be killer…
Shadow Bend’s library closed years ago because of
budgetary problems, so when a wealthy benefactor offers to
reopen it, everyone, including Dev, is thrilled. But
Dev’s excitement wanes when she realizes the
mysterious donor is actually her runaway mother
Yvette’s latest husband, Jett Benedict.
Dev suspects that Yvette and Jett’s intentions
aren’t as noble as they appear, but before she can
discover what they’re really up to, Jett turns up
dead—and all clues point to Yvette as the prime suspect.
Even though Dev has no loyalty to Yvette, she’s in a
bind. Setting the record straight could prove her mother is
a killer. But doing nothing might get her mother booked for
a crime she didn’t commit…
