Dead in the Kitchen.

When a friendly rally turns fatal at a charity pickleball tournament, vintage boutique owner Marnie Devlin trades her paddle for a magnifying glass.

The victim? Arrogant instructor Clint Jamison—strangled with grip tape on Court 3, his own paddle staged in his hand like a final taunt. In Willow Springs, everyone had a reason to want him silenced.

Marnie's investigation team is unconventional: her best friend Ruby with a gossip network rivaling law enforcement, a retired court reporter who catches lies like others catch colds, and her Chihuahua Taco, whose growls seem to target the guilty.

Suspects multiply faster than rumors: the humiliated ice cream shop owner whose shoes match prints at the scene, and the physical therapist Clint was blackmailing over a secret affair. But when Marnie discovers the victim was running charity scams with a local partner, the evidence points toward someone she never expected.

Now the killer knows Marnie is closing in. In a town where everyone knows your business, some secrets are worth killing to protect.
