Phoebe is determined to figure out who killed Sebastian, worried that it will negatively affect her store’s image that her biggest guest author got killed.With the clock ticking, she enlists the help of Rich Lofting, the handsome local private investigator, to help her look into the murder. It’s not long before another victim is pecked off and someone close to Phoebe is the suspect.
