In a town where you’ve made more enemies than friends, you might just end up dead.
Four months after Shelby arrives in Pheasant Valley, she and Ella plan to renovate The Bee’s Knees crafter’s shop to create more space for the locals and crafters. Hoping to make it happen sooner than later, Ella turns to her venture capitalist friend, Harold Madrigal, for help with the financing.
Agnes Cormack relishes control. Most people avoid her, knowing she has a knack for digging up past secrets. When all seems on track with the renovation, Agnes thwarts their plans and Harold (along with other disgruntled residents) vow to do whatever it takes to stop her from intruding in their lives.
During a meeting at the shop, a raging thunderstorm adds to the fury between Agnes and her adversaries. When lightning takes out the power, Agnes turns up dead and all are suspect. To prove their friends innocent, Ella and Shelby must put their sleuthing skills to use once again. Will the killer be crafty enough to avoid capture? Or will the amateur investigators uncover the tightly woven plot?
CRAFTY MOTIVES, a story of how past secrets can either rip apart or mend an entire town.
