About this series

With new clues about her aunt Josie's disappearance from Baycourt Hall, Anna Glenn is all ears when Officer Romona wants to speak to her at Orson's Fall Ball. Except, attempted murder strikes again, hindering Anna from learning any news about the cold case. Or…has it? Vera Kessel is the town's drama queen, but is her fall simply due to a medical condition or a lethal bump to the head?

Vera's life hangs by a thread, and it seems more than one person is threatened by what secret she can spill. From jealous former friends, outrageous bribes, and grudges with jilted lovers, there are plenty of enemies who might want to silence her for good. Sure, it's fodder for drama and gossip, but that's not the only headache Anna faces. While she helps the Banners clear the Baycourt Hall's bad rep—again—trouble crops up at home, too, when Aunt Pru sees someone trespassing.

Keeping secrets is a dangerous, complicated business, something Anna comes to appreciate as a warning in finding Vera's attacker and in unearthing her long-lost relative's fate…

Once grand and gorgeous, the castle-like Baycourt Hall is now on the brink of closing. If business stays steady for the party venue, newly hired event manager Anna Glenn might be able to help the owners—handsome handyman Sean and his bubbly grandma Ruby—save it from failure. A wedding reception starts on a rocky note, but when the party wraps up, it turns downright deadly. Before the guests can depart, Anna discovers Father Asher stabbed in the foyer. Baycourt isn't only crumbling, it's a hotbed of peril. Asher won't be missed, not with his habit of stealing church funds. But with the fresh scandal of his death, the townsfolk recall previous trouble Baycourt has weathered—typical drama that comes with idiots gathering. Despite the current unsolved murder, Anna and her aunt Pru are focused on another Glenn sister, Josie, who disappeared after attending a funeral there many years ago. When Anna learns Josie wore a family heirloom Aunt Pru wishes to have back, Anna attempts to search for clues at Baycourt. Just as she finds a clue that suggests Josie's locket might have gone missing at the hall, another reception begins. Hopefully, nothing further puts anyone in peril, or there's no chance of saving Baycourt Hall—and Anna won't be able to solve the mystery buried in her family history.
