Laura has solved the murder of Alex’s former business partner, her romance with Alex is going smoothly, and the teashop is a huge success. The only problem? The killer is still on the loose, and she’s coming for revenge. Strange things start happening around the shop: machinery left out, things moved around, and finally a fire in the kitchen. Laura is certain it’s the killer once more, but even Alex and Emma think the note she received was just a prank. And even when Laura tracks down her nemesis, the fight is just beginning—because bodies are beginning to stack up all over town, and Laura is the prime suspect. Why? Because the first one was Devon Brown, her former boss and lover—who betrayed her and ruined her career. To top it all off, Alex clearly doesn’t believe Laura’s alibi. Laura follows a trail of clues around town to track the killer down…but is she just playing into the killer’s game?

The trial of the Elizabeth’s trial is wrapping up, and with her accomplice in jail, it looks like a conviction is imminent. Meanwhile, the summer tourism is heating up, and Laura, Emma, and Alex are getting ready for the big 4th of July parade—the major event of the season. However, when a tourist is found dead in a local pond, the summer takes a deadly turn, and the plot thickens when it turns out she had no water in her lungs.
