Description

Cassie Gwynne steps off the steamship at Fernandina harbor, seeking a fresh start. She's styled her unruly hair, shined her boots, and purchased a new wardrobe, determined to be a proper lady. However, finding a body is not ladylike behavior. While exploring the island with her Aunt Flora, Cassie stumbles upon the body of Peanut Runkles, a town grump and her aunt's neighbor, at the foot of the harbor pilots' lookout tower. Peanut and Flora have been quarreling for years, and Flora is arrested for murder. Desperate to save her aunt, Cassie vows to prove her innocence and untangle the mystery herself. With her brilliant mind and nose for a clue, Cassie leads an investigation that takes her around the island, earning her a valiant furry friend in Esy the kitten. A mysterious ledger found in Peanut's desk holds the key to the crime, and Cassie is determined to dig up the truth before it's too late. As Cassie digs deeper, she must navigate the island's secrets and lies to catch the killer. With its warm and witty tone, this cozy mystery will transport you to the island city of Fernandina and introduce you to a feisty heroine.
