Aprašymas

A body surfaces, a renovation goes sideways, and a midlife woman goes full Nancy Drew.

Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Deanna Raybourn! She wanted a fresh start. She got a body instead.

Empty-nested and newly single at forty-seven, Wendy McFarquhar drains her savings to buy a ramshackle hot-springs resort in an old mining town. The plan: renovate, reopen by ski season, and reinvent her life along the way. The reality: before she can welcome a single guest, the town's resident troublemaker turns up dead on her property.

Wendy suspects the mining corporation trespassing nearby-but their rugged engineer seems determined to distract her. The sheriff detains her best friend. And suddenly, Wendy is knee-deep in secrets, suspects, and very bad timing.

Her ex-husband refuses to sign the divorce papers, putting her bank loan-and the resort-at risk. Her oldest daughter is dating one of the suspects. Her youngest is coming out, moving home, and bunking in Wendy's sixteen-foot Airstream. Now a moderately fit suburban realtor with a fear of heights must uncover the truth, save the hot springs, and figure out how to parent grown children without making things worse.

She'd kill for a piece of paradise.
But someone beat her to it.
