After years of slinging lattes, Betti Bryant is taking ownership of her life. She doesn't need new friends or book club invitations to distract her from finding her way forward. And the unresolved situation with a guy she kissed a few weeks ago might as well stay unresolved.

But there's one distraction she is not prepared for: finding a murder victim on her way to work one frigid December morning.

Suspicion falls on Betti's roommate, Callista, who happens to be holding a baseball bat over the victim's body when the police drive up. Almost totally sure Callista is innocent, Betti buys a new notebook, digs out her scrapbooking supplies, and makes the cutest murder board ever.

Now, on top of holding down a job (or two) and figuring out her entire future, she's committed to finding the real killer before any more lives are ruined—including her own.
