The place looks peaceful, but Molly, a reporter who knows that appearances can mislead, grows suspicious when a local woman is found poisoned. She agrees to assist the village inspector, Devon Boyle, since the small community offers only a handful of possible culprits. Then two of those suspects vanish, and another death comes to light. Molly must sort through lies and secrets to find the killer, and she is determined to do it before her trip ends badly.
