Former lawyer Nicole Fitzhenry-Dawes knows she’ll eventually have to either remove the former from in front of lawyer or embrace a new life making maple syrup full-time.
Problem is she’s not sure she’s cut out for either.
When the museum curator who helped her find a replacement antique sap bucket is accused of murdering one of his employees, Nicole agrees to take the case as a way to decide at last which career path she’ll follow. If she can’t successfully argue his case in court, she’ll resign from a legal career for good.
Unfortunately, the case turns out to be one of the most challenging she’s faced—from rare fatal diseases to a client whose defense is that he hallucinated a bear.
The deeper she gets into the case, the more it seems everyone has a secret to keep.
And secrets are seldom sweet…
Emily James grew up watching TV shows like Matlock, Monk, and Murder She Wrote. (It’s pure coincidence that they all begin with an “M.”) It was no surprise to anyone when she turned into a mystery writer.
Alongside being a writer, she’s also a baker, an animal lover, and a musician.
Emily and her husband share their home with a Boxer mix, eight cats (all rescues), and a budgie (who is both the littlest and the loudest).
