Hollie just wanted coffee. A five-minute stop in a small town. A dead body changed everything.
When a despised local real estate mogul collapses in the diner, Hollie finds herself in the middle of the investigation.
Held as a material witness by a deputy who doesn’t trust outsiders, Hollie discovers the only one who believes in her instincts is a dachshund named Rufus.
But Hollie has spent twenty years reading kitchens for what’s wrong. She can read people the same way.
A farmer bleeding from a land dispute and a baker who lost her family property. Both had everything to gain from his death.
The clock is ticking, and Deputy Merritt is narrowing down his list of suspects.
When the lead suspect flees town she knows she is on the right path but, something is still wrong.
In a race against time, Hollie and the deputy work together to get to the bottom of the mystery before more suspects disappear or the killer strikes again.

Author Bio:
C.J. Leo writes cozy mysteries full of clever sleuths, close-knit communities, and just enough suspense to keep the porch light on a little longer. When not plotting her next whodunit, she can usually be found with a cup of tea, a nosy cat, and a notebook full of red herrings.
