Some mysteries are solved by finding the missing piece.
Others are solved by looking at the whole picture differently.
When Aunt Clara discovers the body of a fellow resident near the Pleasant Acres apiary, Maisie Shreffler is drawn into her most puzzling investigation yet. The evidence points in every direction, trusted friends come under suspicion, and nothing is quite what it seems.
As Maisie, Aunt Clara, and an unforgettable cast of Piney Hollow characters follow one clue after another, they discover that assumptions can be as dangerous as lies-and that sometimes the truth has been hiding in plain sight all along. To uncover the real story, they'll have to look beyond appearances, question what everyone thinks they know, and find the one missing piece that changes the entire picture.
Filled with cozy humor, warm friendships, coffee-fueled conversations, Chairman Meow's supervisory skills, and a mystery that rewards careful readers, Frame of Reference continues Maisie's journey from grieving widow to confident sleuth.
Welcome back to Piney Hollow, where coffee is brewing, and every mystery is stitched together with friendship, family, and hope. Whether you're visiting for the first time or coming home for another adventure, you'll discover that sometimes the greatest mysteries don't just reveal the truth-they help us see life from an entirely new frame of reference.
