The poisoned cupcakes surprised everyone—especially the guy who ate one.
Hazel Winslow’s life is finally coming together. Her bookstore is almost ready to open, her gossipy best friend Tilly keeps things lively, and her puppy Watson is this close to mastering the art of catching his own tail.
Until local jerk Grant Pritchard drops dead after eating one of Tilly’s cupcakes, making Tilly the prime suspect.
Now Hazel has a murder to solve with absolutely no qualifications.
Good thing she’s got Watson on the case… who’s slightly more qualified, but mostly just fluff. Literally.
Maribel, Tilly’s longtime rival, is enjoying this a little too much. And with Grant gone, business is booming.
Then there’s Lorna Pike, Grant’s boss, who just discovered he’d been stealing from her right before his demise.
Hazel’s every move is being tracked. Break-ins turn personal. Warnings turn sharper. The killer’s willing to do anything to stay in the shadows.
Because if she doesn’t stop digging, the next one ending up in danger won’t be Hazel…
It’ll be Watson.
