Small town, big secrets—and a killer hiding in plain sight.
What do you get when you mix thirty years of best-friend chemistry, a small-town murder mystery, and a rumor of a bloodthirsty werewolf?
Meet Lexi and Zelda: Lifelong besties, midlife survivors, and Atherton's newest amateur sleuths. Lexi is a level-headed nurse just trying to manage her responsibilities, her aging reproductive system, and a relationship that's gone cold. Zelda is a vibrant high school teacher who sees the world in rainbows and uses the powers of the Goddess to get things done. They’ve had each other’s backs for over thirty years—through terrible fashion choices, midlife shifts, and plenty of happy hour margaritas.
But when a local teenager is brutally murdered, their quiet community is plunged into chaos. The official ruling? A tragic wild animal mauling. The town gossip? A werewolf is on the loose. Lexi and Zelda's dynamic intuition? Absolutely not.
Forced to take matters into their own hands, these two middle-aged women embark on a witty, dangerous quest for the truth, ignoring strenuous warnings from the police chief and breaking a few minor laws along the way. It turns out, small towns hide the filthiest beasts.
