Ramona Russet, the quirky owner of Ramona’s Café and Samantha MacDougall, assistant and sidekick reluctantly agree to help their new competitor after he is accused of poisoning the town’s mayor. Secrets layered by lies unfold as the two tea-drinking, scone-baking, sherry-sipping, 50-plus duo fumble along in their quest for the truth. The search uncovers more than the murderer—it reveals secrets meant to die with the mayor.



Ramona Russet, owner of Ramona’s Café, and her side-kick, Samantha McDougall, don’t believe for one moment that Neil Osborne, the local marina owner, is guilty of murdering Peter Rule: the arrogant development lawyer from Texas sent to harass the owners along the quaint waterfront of Stevensville into selling their properties. When Rule's dead body is discovered on Neil’s boat after a heated argument, and Neil charged with the crime, Ramona and Samantha begin their own investigation revealing how little they really know about their friends and neighbors...and bringing them face to face with the truth.
