Overview
When Sandy Shaw swapped her high heels for homemade bakes and opened a cosy bookshop café in Waterfell Tweed, she never expected to be suspected of murder.
But when local show-off Reginald Halfman announces he's opening a rival bookstore across the village square—and then winds up dead—Sandy’s small-town dream turns into a real-life whodunnit.
With her business under threat, the police on her doorstep, and a second shocking attack shaking the village, Sandy realises she’ll have to take matters into her own hands. Good thing she’s got a sharp mind (and a sharper lemon drizzle).
Can Sandy find the killer before they strike again? Or will she be next on the list?
