The hidden past is back with a vengeance.

Are Dee and her dog Rosie safe in their tiny home community, or are they in danger by those they trust the most?

Ex-reporter turned food blogger Dolores "Dee" Maye moved to Meadow Wood with Rosie to start a new life. When she stumbles on a body in the communal garden, Dee’s new life gets complicated fast... especially when she discovers that the dead man was a notorious mobster.

As Dee's friend Derek joins the hunt for the killer, his past comes knocking — hard. When the prime suspect is killed, Dee must follow a twisted trail of deceit to uncover the truth.

With barns ablaze and poisons in play, even Dee’s trusty dog Rosie isn't spared the drama. It's a case of friend versus foe when the past spills out like a crime novel Dee wishes she'd never opened.

Will Meadow Wood's peacefulness be uprooted forever, or will Dee unravel the tangled web of secrets before its too late?

Dig in to discover if she can plant the seeds of justice or if chaos will overrun the garden.
