It's a muggy summer evening in Lake Eden, Minnesota, and
Hannah Swensen is attending the Grand Opening of the
refurbished Albion Hotel, where her famous Red Velvet
cupcakes are being served in the Red Velvet lounge. The
event is abuzz with the surprise arrival of Doctor Bev, a
local who fled in shame after she two–timed her
fiancé one too many times. But the party's over when a
guest takes a dive off the rooftop garden. The victim is
the sheriff's secretary, and the question is, did she
fall—or was she pushed? The only one who isn't
preoccupied with the case is Doctor Bev. She's too busy
trying to stir things up with her old flame Norman, who's
reunited with Hannah...
Just as Hannah's patience runs thin, Bev is found dead at
the bottom of Miller's Pond. The only clue the police have
is the Red Velvet cupcake Bev ate right before she
died—and the tranquilizers someone seems to have
baked into it. To everyone's shock, Hannah is now the
target of a murder investigation, and she's feeling the
heat in a way she never has before...
