Katy Cross is more than Skeeterville's favorite home health nurse, she's also a Sunday school teacher and the lead guitarist for The Moonlighters, a local bluegrass band. But when she discovers a body during the mic check at the annual Peanut Patch Festival, she becomes an accidental sleuth as well.

In Skeeterville, sweet tea and gossip are staples, so when news gets out that a community member has been murdered, everyone wants to talk to Katy about the tragedy. She does her best to separate truth from rumor, anxious to protect the people she's come to love. But while Katy is a natural detective, her God-given talent won't protect her from the murderer still at large.

It turns out this small-town mystery is bigger than anyone expected.
