Sometimes it doesn't pay to go to work.

Dappled Hills is the kind of small town where it's hard to imagine anything bad happening . . . especially in the fall when the mountain trees are changing. It's a magical time in the area and Beatrice and Wyatt have been enjoying every minute of it, especially taking their new grandbaby on stroller rides in the crisp autumn air.

So it was quite a jolt when tragedy did strike and Beatrice's daughter discovered her coworker at the school, murdered.

At first, no one had a clue who could possibly have murdered Petunia Murray. But, as Beatrice dug a little more, she discovered Petunia carried a few secrets. Now Beatrice must piece together the clues before anyone else is sewn up for good.
