About this ebook

A death. A receipt from the herbal shoppe. And a town that has already made up its mind.

When a Carolan Springs resident dies and the evidence leads straight to Hope's herbal shoppe, the town doesn't wait for the facts. The whispers start overnight and the customers stop coming by morning. Hope's shoppe -- her life's work, her joy, the beating heart of everything she has built -- begins to crumble under the weight of accusation.

Anne knows her best friend is innocent. What she doesn't know is why Hope won't quite meet her eyes. Why she keeps deflecting. Why, in the middle of the worst crisis of her life, something else entirely seems to be weighing on her -- something she isn't ready to share even with Anne.

With a killer still loose, a business on the verge of collapse, and her closest friendship suddenly feeling fragile in ways she can't explain, Anne has never had more at stake. Finding the real culprit won't just clear Hope's name. It might be the only thing that saves everything they have built together in Carolan Springs.

In this gripping and heartfelt chapter of the Carolan Springs Mysteries, you'll find:
