Murder can't be sugar-coated ...

When a local teen goes missing, the town of Stoneybrook fears the worst.

Hadley is sure Miranda's disappearance has nothing to do with the drug dealer who was found dead in Cascade Ridge. The charming, candy shop cashier is entirely too sweet to get involved in any of that. But when the clues pile up, Hadley can't help but draw parallels.

Suddenly autumn isn't feeling like the cozy season Hadley loves, and the clock is ticking faster than the leaves are falling.

Every moment counts in a missing persons case, but whom do you suspect when the victim is beloved by all? Or is she?
