If someone had told me, Mallory Beck, that I would be the next unschooled detective in Honeysuckle Grove, I would have thought they were ten noodles short of a lasagna. After all, my late novelist husband was the one with a passion for mysteries and all things suspicious. Me? I was meant for the comfort of a Crock-Pot, not the intensity of a magnifying glass. But fate had other plans for me, and now I find myself knee-deep in fettuccine, cat treats, and defiant teenagers. It's this unexpected combination that thrusts me right into the heart of a chilling murder investigation.

Perhaps I should have reconsidered my decision to deliver a casserole to a grieving family. Maybe I should have steered clear of the captivating, ever-changing green eyes of my seventh-grade crush—a man who has now become the most arresting cop in town. And maybe, just maybe, I should have stopped listening to the sharp-witted meows of my cantankerous cat, Hunch, who might just be trying to lead me straight into the clutches of the town's murderer.

But regardless of the "what ifs," here I am, caught up in this relentless investigation. A distraught teenage girl places her trust in me, relying on me to uncover the truth. It's up to me to sift through the secrets and shadows of Honeysuckle Grove, West Virginia, piecing together the puzzle before it claims more lives. With every twist and turn, danger lurks closer, but I won't rest until justice is served.

Step into my world, where feline instincts and simmering casseroles collide with the relentless pursuit of truth. Are you ready to join me as I unravel the dark secrets that threaten to unravel our seemingly idyllic town? Trust me, the truth is lurking just beneath the surface, waiting to be uncovered, and it's a mystery you won't want to miss!
