So now I’m stranded here—trying to make a living by solving murders the old fashioned way — without help from DNA, databases, CSI crime labs or the police. And I’m doing it in France.

But then, Luther Plunkett, a handyman with aspirations, raises a stink over building regulations, and promptly turns up dead. Small-town mysteries have a way of snowballing out of control for someone who has been seen arguing with the now-deceased in front of the entire town. Before the body gets cold, EV becomes suspect #1 in the murder, and not even Chloe can stop the rumor mill from churning.

Against Detective Nate Harper and Deputy Dalton Burnsoll's orders, Chloe and EV mount their own investigation—but what they uncover might just rock the community to its very core. Could one of their own beloved citizens really be a killer? If you

      Detectiveromans Come to Whitewitch Island, they said. A nice place to retire, they said… Who knew I owned so much stuff?

I’d told myself I wasn’t running away, almost believed it. Except, the clifftop Pacific Ocean view had been so crammed with cardboard and the detritus of my last life I could barely glimpse the water. Surely such blockage wasn't an omen. More likely, I had to admit my rapid retreat from who I used to be really had been a bit of a scramble out of the way of everything I knew and my concerns about foretelling was just another exc
