Sidney Spencer is the successful author of mystery novels who loves her job, but she's due for a much-deserved break. She owns a cabin in Spring Lake, Pennsylvania, but she's never spent the winter there. This is just the respite she needs as she settles in her winter home and a quiet community filled with new friends.
As a mystery author, Sidney is always curious, and she suspects several of her neighbors are hiding secrets. She does her best to weed out the truth, but her amusing hobby turns to something much more necessary when one person is killed and two girls are reported missing. Now, Sheriff Will Putnam needs her help before someone else ends up dead.
Sidney knows certain neighbors in Spring Lake harbor secrets, but do any of them seem capable of murder? She has to use all her investigative skills to discover whether there is a killer among them. And she'd better figure things out soon before she becomes the killer's next person of interest-and possible prey.
