In the usually peaceful, perpetually fog-shrouded town of Misty Cove, an unnerving melody is afoot. As the Battling Baffled Bands Festival – a cacophony of high school bands tuning, tooting, and drumming their hearts out – draws near, an offbeat note strikes the community: a serial killer is on the loose! Enter Honeypie Sweetwater, local café owner and amateur sleuth, with a penchant for pie-making and crime-solving in equal measure. Alongside her, Gwen Folds – a unique blend of coroner and dry cleaner, handling both the dearly departed and stubborn stains with unparalleled grace.
As the dynamic duo dives into the mystery, they find themselves wading through a sea of suspects, each more peculiar than the last. From trombone-playing taxidermists to clarinet-clad cat ladies, Misty Cove is a symphony of potential culprits. With the clock ticking and the festival fast approaching, Honeypie and Gwen must unravel the mystery before the killer orchestrates their next deadly move.
Will our intrepid heroines tune into the killer’s frequency and bring them to justice before the first note is played? Or will this sinister symphonist’s next composition be penned in peril? Find out if Honeypie and Gwen can ensure the only thing the kids are battling at the festival are the bands, and not for their lives. Get ready for a tale of suspense, humor, and perhaps the odd musical pun, in the heart of Misty Cove!
Keilah moved to Sandy Salts, Iowa in search of a fresh start. Little did she know, acclimating to the quirky town in the middle of nowhere would be more complicated than she anticipated.

Digging into the cold case residents have all but forgotten, Keilah unwittingly discovers shocking secrets from her own past. The explosive truth she uncovers could change the town of Sandy Salts and Keilah, forever.
