At thirty-two, Blaize McCue, psychologist, and food addict in recovery, suffers a career crises. Tired of counseling recoverees, she considers returning to her previous occupation: PI. Amidst her indecision, boyfriend, Homicide Detective Stephanos Zoloski, asks her to marry him. Unable to say yes or no, she receives an ultimatum, a long engagement with a date set for the wedding, or "Sayonara babe." Wrestling with her private fears about relationships and marriage, Blaize finds more heaped on her plate: a phone call from her brother, Ian, catapults her into revisiting old places and faces on the McCue family tree -a tree she hasn't seen since childhood. When her half-uncle turns up murdered, all the relatives are suspect, including Blaize and her brother. Ian, tangling with his own demons in recovery from sex addiction, has no alibi, nor has Blaize, but both, along with their half-cousins, inherit a quarter mil - nothing to sneeze at, and possibly a motive for murder.
