Foe or murderous friend?
When Maddie accompanies Gran and Angel on a once in a lifetime trip to London to visit her mom and stepfather, she never imagined what awaited them.
The run-down castle they inherited is targeted by someone who makes it clear that new blood isn't welcome. With a murder on their doorstep, and old rumors resurfacing, things heat up and not just in the kitchen. Maddie must sift through the evidence before it disappears.
Do the answers lie within the castle walls? Or with a family member?
And will Big Red, Maddie's faithful Maine Coon, forgive her for leaving him behind?
