The Founders Lantern Festival didn’t go as planned. Instead of canapés and hobnobbing, the gala is riddled with a leak, a lantern, and the festival’s biggest donor face-down in the rosemary.
Welcome to the Harborview Inn.
Ruby Bradshaw is back in Gull Harbor to take over the inn from her parents after fifteen years away. The festival was supposed to double as the inn’s grand reopening gala. Instead, Ruby finds herself a suspect in a murder investigation.
Sixteen-year-old Emmy is her mom’s sidekick and the level-headed one in the mother/daughter amateur sleuth duo. She carries a notebook and notices everything.
As clues pile up, the evidence points more and more toward Ruby. Ruby knows she’s being framed. Emmy knows they’re running out of time.
If they can’t solve the mystery quickly, the next light to go out might be theirs.
