Danielle Baker is content in her small farm community in Western Oregon. Homeschooling her kids, recovering from her divorce, attending church, and hanging out with her best friend, Natalie, all contribute to her peaceful life.
When her daughter's classmate is murdered, Danielle plans to let the police handle it, until she discovers that her children hold answers to questions the police have. When the new British detective, Nigel Hawksworth, shows up at her house for a third time, Danielle steps out of her quiet life and into the investigation, determined to find answers.
Can she trust the new detective to solve the mystery and keep her family safe? What about the other teens in town? Are their lives in danger, too? Can she help Detective Hawksworth find answers before someone else is injured? Or worse?
As Danielle learns how to investigate a crime she never intended to get involved with, she also learns that not everyone is who she believes they are.
