As soon as Emma arrives in the village she discovers that the curmudgeonly owner of the building she wants to rent hates dogs. Although some might turn tail and run, Emma is determined to win her over. But when she delivers some of her homemade scones as a peace offering, she finds the woman dead. Together, Emma and Oliver will need to unleash their detective skills to catch a killer.
