Sheriff Houtman, who left Boston to have a more peaceful career, finds himself faced with two murders, and he is challenged by a band of amateur sleuths who doubt his competence. Will his conclusions hold, or will he have to admit defeat? Unfortunately, Sheriff Houtman is quite infatuated with Sadie, a refugee from Lebanon who escaped ISIS. Robin George narrates the story. She is a widow with a young son who moves to the Berkshires after her beloved husband died. Her bookstore, Bookworms, and Sweet Indulgences, her best friend Sadie's restaurant, become the hubs for Robin's amateur detective group where they plan how to solve the local crimes and exonerate Billy, the Sheriff's main suspect. Will they prove the Sheriff wrong?

The theme of this book is: If you can't lead a party of one - yourself - how can you expect to be the boss of other people and of organizations?
