Perfect for you if...

  • You love stories where family dysfunction becomes the real plot and the mystery is secondary to the relationships.
  • You're drawn to older female characters with grit and wit who refuse to be sidelined by age or illness.
  • You want a cosy mystery with genuine emotional stakes rather than puzzle-box plotting.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer traditional whodunits where the mystery itself is the main event and characters are secondary.
  • You're looking for fast-paced thriller plotting. This one takes time to develop the family dynamics.
  • You want a book without family trauma or emotional complexity underneath the lighter tone.

About this book

High-powered businesswoman Lana Rubicon is convalescing in a sleepy coastal town, 300 miles north of Los Angeles, alongside her adult daughter Beth and teenage granddaughter Jack. Lana, who built an L.A. real estate empire, finds herself far from her usual life. When Jack discovers a dead body while kayaking, she becomes a suspect in a homicide investigation, and the Rubicon family is thrown into turmoil. Lana decides to investigate the murder herself, determined to find the true killer and protect her family. With Jack and Beth's help, she uncovers a web of lies, family vendettas, and land disputes within the community, which is populated by conservationists and wealthy ranchers. As their amateur investigation deepens into dangerous territory, the three women must learn to rely on each other—something they have long resisted.
