When Heather Shepherd attends the opening show of the new Hillside Cinema with her hubby and police detective, Ryan, the last thing she expects is to witness a murder, along with all the other guests.
But that's exactly what happens, and Heather is thrust headfirst into another case. The only trouble is the victim is a man with a misty background, and finding out what happened to him won't be easy. There's hardly any evidence to work with in the case. Armed with her a box of her Neapolitan Delight Donuts, a thirst for the truth, and a little bit of extra help from her bestie Amy, Heather sets off to solve yet another murder case in not-so-sleepy Hillside. But, as always, there's more to this case as she first perceives, and digging into the past might provide the answers.
Heather's convinced this murder isn't like any of the others, and that the murder mystery runs deeper than flesh and bone, into the annals of Hillside's history, itself.
