Laura is a celebrity chef known for her desserts and pastries. Visiting her mentor, the famed WWII veteran was long overdue. Mattie is frail but her mind is as sharp as a rapier. After just days of meeting her, Laura finds Mattie murdered and herself as the main suspect. On top of it all, Laura feels the small town detective force is overwhelmed by the crime, refuses to take Laura’s claims seriously and does not even secure the crime scene.
When Laura sees the disinterest around her dear friends murder she takes matters into her own hands, not knowing that in small towns many feathers can be ruffled. Running foul of the detectives is one thing, but having antagonistic neighbours, a missing grounds keeper and a boyfriend who is a stalker does not help. Added to the mix is a woman fixed on revenge when she feels she is cheated of her inheritance.
The story is fast paced and all the characters add depth to the story.
