Professor Bevyn Jones expected a quiet mystery weekend in cottage country. What he got was murder.

A mysterious text from "Ladybug" pulls him into a real whodunit—one that's far deadlier than any themed weekend game. Armed with an unlikely crew (a detective in a Miss Scarlett costume, a retired chief, and Detective Roy), Bevyn hunts for answers through shadowy rooms, secret passageways, and lakeside secrets.

When a body surfaces and old accidents demand attention, the past crashes into the present. The clues lead somewhere unexpected: a glittering ballroom, hot apple cider, and a truth waiting to be uncovered.

Perfect for readers who love amateur sleuths, Canadian charm, and mysteries that unfold one cozy clue at a time. And yes—there's one final puzzle Bevyn simply cannot ignore.
