Dams, you’ll follow the tenacious and sharp-witted Dorothy, a transplanted American widow, as she navigates the cobbled paths of her new home — and the murky depths of its mysteries. With the clock ticking and a young man's suspicious death casting a shadow over the town hall, Dorothy's insatiable curiosity propels her into dangerous territory, despite the chief constable's stern warnings. As she unravels the tangled threads of deceit and lurking resentments among the locals, Dorothy discovers that her quest for truth might lead her to unearth dark secrets best left untouched — secrets that put her own life at risk.

Can a resourceful woman on a quest for justice hope to outsmart the conspiracy brewing just beneath Sherebury’s idyllic surface? Join Dorothy and uncover the truth—if you dare!
