As a back story, Megan Sawyer is now running her family’s organic farm, Washington Acres, after walking away from her legal career following the death of her husband. With her grandmother Bibi and dependable employees, she has turned the farm, and the cafĂ© in town, around. With the opening of Marshall house in sight, Megan will be able to see her dreams come to fruition. That is until a good deed results in a missing woman and a dead body found on her property.

The anti-social Von Tressler’s don’t belong in this part of the state, and no one is sure why they decided to build their home in Winsome, Pennsylvania. Now with the patriarch dead, and a curious amount of bed-hopping going on, Detective King, with the help of Megan, needs to figure out what is going on within the mahogany halls of the Von Tressler corporation and to understand why Megan was drawn into the middle of it.

For the longest time, I was confusing the father and the son, then the wives, then the partners. Not sure how it all clicked into place with the shenanigans going on, but Wendy Tyson did manage to tie it all up before the Fourth of July festivities and the grand opening of the Marshall house, without letting on to the final surprise she had in store for her reader.
