"Inspired by the real-life mother of forensic science, Frances Glessner Lee, and featuring a whip-smart, intrepid sleuth in post-WWII Vermont ... Maple Bishop is ready to put WWII and the grief of losing her husband, Bill, behind her. But when she discovers that Bill left her penniless, Maple realizes she could lose her Vermont home next and sets out to make money the only way she knows how: by selling her intricately crafted dollhouses. Business is off to a good start--until Maple discovers her first customer dead, his body hanging precariously in his own barn. Something about the supposed suicide rubs Maple the wrong way, but local authorities brush off her concerns. Determined to help them see 'what's big in what's small', Maple turns to what she knows best, painstakingly recreating the gruesome scene in miniature: death in a nutshell.

But when her nosy neighbor goes missing and she herself becomes a suspect, it'll be up to Maple to find the devil in the details and put him behind bars"--
