Lou Carsley is done investigating.

Sticking their nose into others' business has brought them nothing but trouble. And as the heat of summer chills toward autumn, they have enough to keep them busy. A new employee to train, their brother's new baby, and their queer book club.

And whatever is going on with their friendship with local police officer, Matthias Lindert.

So, they are done investigating, at least until they get a phone call from Jody O'Dell. There's a dead body in the library, and Jody looks like the prime suspect. But, Lou believes their friend is innocent. And they are going to prove it.

And hopefully it won't throw a wrench in everything they're building.
