New owner of a music box shop, Callie Reed, pitches in on the decorations for a special Halloween-themed book signing at Keepsake Cove, a quaint town of collectible shops on Maryland's Eastern Shore. She then welcomes the suspense author, who has opted to stay at a B&B with a mysterious history and an eccentric owner.

When the B&B owner is found dead, stabbed with a pair of vintage scissors, suspicion immediately falls on his estranged wife, Dorothy, who owns Keepsake Cove's vintage sewing shop. Callie and the visiting author team up to prove Dorothy's innocence, which draws them both into a tangle of secrets for which someone is willing to kill once again.
