A stream of worrying events rock the tiny rural township of Airlie Falls – a mysterious unidentified body, a late mayoral challenge, missing money, a strange group of socialites hunkered down in a ‘luxury commune’ – and it’s unsettling everyone; folk don’t know who to trust anymore. But when a man is murdered and those she’s closest to are right in Sheriff Kinnead’s sights, amateur baker and mystery buff Rosie Hart can’t sit on the sidelines. She’s convinced these aren’t random events, that there is one common denominator, and as she digs further, traversing all the twists and turns and discovers the dead man’s wife is missing, possibly held against her will, Rosie is sure this woman holds the answer.
Despite being warned to stay out of police business, Rosie is burning to find the answers and prove her friends are innocent. Giving in to this request would be like expecting a parched woman to refuse a tall glass of cool water. She has to push forward.
And speaking of tall cool glasses of water, there’s also her gorgeous builder slash farmer boyfriend who isn’t keen on her risking her life again either. Almost losing her once when a murderer set her as a target is quite enough for Jonah Fencott. So, when she decides to go undercover to find answers, she can only hope Jonah won’t be too disappointed in her, especially when one of those she’s desperate to prove innocent is his own father. But will the missing woman provide the answers she needs? And will she forgive herself for dragging him into a situation that could cost Jonah the ultimate price? His life.
