Blurb

Amanda must uncover the truth before it's too late.

Amanda Beckwith thought she was finally getting her life back on track. A recovering alcoholic and professional home organizer, she’s worked hard to rebuild after years of chaos. But when a client fires her and threatens to sue, her fragile sobriety and strained relationships are pushed to the edge. Desperate for connection, Amanda turns to a local social media app, My Neighborhood, where she discovers Rachel Beckwith—a distant relative who might be the lifeline she needs.

After a few phone calls, Amanda is eager to meet Rachel, but Rachel keeps canceling plans. When Rachel claims she’s sick, Amanda insists on visiting to help—only to find her dead. Now, Amanda is thrust into a dangerous mystery, fighting to clear her name while unraveling the secrets of her cousin’s life. As she digs deeper, Amanda finds herself caught in a web of lies and peril, realizing she may be the killer’s next target.
