The Maid meets The Last Thing He Told Me in this fun, fresh, and twisty debut who­dun­nit about a grand­moth­er-moth­er-daugh­ter trio who come togeth­er as ama­teur sleuths to solve a mur­der in their coastal Cal­i­for­nia town. High-pow­ered busi­ness­woman Lana Rubi­con finds her­self trapped 300 miles north of the city, con­va­lesc­ing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daugh­ter Beth and teenage grand­daugh­ter Jack after she is diag­nosed with can­cer. But when Jack hap­pens upon a dead body while kayak­ing near their bun­ga­low, she quick­ly becomes a sus­pect in the homi­cide inves­ti­ga­tion. The Rubi­con women are thrown into chaos. Beth thinks Lana should focus on recov­ery, but Lana has a bet­ter idea. She’ll pull on her wig, find the true mur­der­er, pro­tect her fam­i­ly, and prove she still has pow­er. With Jack and Beth’s help, Lana uncov­ers a web of lies, fam­i­ly vendet­tas, and land dis­putes. As their ama­teur snoop­ing advances into ever-more dan­ger­ous ter­ri­to­ry, the head­strong Rubi­con women must learn to do the one thing they’ve always resist­ed: depend on each other.
