After surviving the harrowing events of their Christmas getaway to Florida, Darian and Argo hope to enjoy a peaceful conclusion to Darian’s first year of teaching at Birchwood. Unfortunately, along with the first buds of spring come new complications...and maybe a new murder, too. First, Birchwood’s librarian vanishes after his car plummets into a storm-swollen river. Next, a troubled student runs away from campus, but is he the pursued or the pursuer? Worst of all, another body turns up at the original crash site. Darian and Argo believe all three cases are connected…but how? Also stressing Darian out is the “important discussion” Argo keeps wanting to have with him. So far, they’ve been interrupted every time they start to talk. Then again, depending what the issue is, that might actually be a good thing. Is Argo thinking about putting their relationship on hold again? Does Darian really want to know? Note: this cozy mystery contains scenes of male/male romance, but there is no explicit sexual content.
