About the book
When a cantankerous woman is found murdered in her own home, the residents of Balsam Dell can only say better late than never . . .
Amidst the scorching summer heat, grilled cheese restaurant owner Carly Hale is overjoyed to have Ross Baxter delivering her sandwiches to local seniors. She has never encountered a more courteous and diligent young man, and she dismisses any complaints made by difficult customers. However, when Ross discovers the woman's lifeless body during another delivery, suspicions arise that he may be the culprit. Determined to clear his name, Carly takes it upon herself to investigate.
As Carly delves deeper, she uncovers the victim's estranged stepchildren who were both financially dependent on her. Furthermore, the deceased had a history of pursuing married men, leading to a long list of potential suspects. With Ross's fingerprints on the murder weapon, Carly is desperate for any lead. Ultimately, she confronts the killer, realizing that she may have gotten herself into more than she bargained for.
