Former lawyer Nicole Fitzhenry-Dawes has finally settled in to her new home in Fair Haven, and her first maple syrup season is upon them. Itโs not going as smoothly as sheโd hoped.
Their sap lines keep springing leaks, and as if that wasnโt enough, Nicole finds their groom-mechanic, Noah, apparently trampled in one of the horse stalls.
Fair Havenโs interim police chief is ready to declare it an accident, but Nicole believes otherwise. With Noah in a coma, sheโs determined to figure out who wanted to kill him before the perpetrator can return and finish the job.
But whoever attempted to kill Noah has other ideas and is willing to do whatever it takes to stop Nicole from discovering the truthโeven destroy Sugarwood and the man Nicole loves.
Emily James grew up watching TV shows like Matlock, Monk, and Murder She Wrote. (Itโs pure coincidence that they all begin with an M.) It was no surprise to anyone when she turned into a mystery writer.
Alongside being a writer, sheโs also a baker, an animal lover, and a musician.
Emily and her husband share their home with a Boxer mix, eight cats (all rescues), and a budgie (who is both the littlest and the loudest).
