Rebecca Orange is back-and so is murder!
After solving the shocking death of the castle's head architect, Rebecca is settling into her new life as the animal trainer at Monrovia Castle. But life in the charming Village of Atwood is far from peaceful when Rodrigo, the editor of the local gossip magazine, turns up dead.
For Rebecca, the stakes couldn't be higher. The villagers are wary of newcomers like her, and the castle's annual Foundation Festival, celebrating the legendary founder of Monrovia, hangs in the balance. To make matters worse, Rodrigo's death points suspicion at the Duke of Atwood-Rebecca's new boss and budding love interest. As scandalous rumors swirl and the Duke's reputation is dragged through the mud, Rebecca must act fast to clear his name.
With her trusty Tibetan Mastiff, Joe, by her side, and her best friend Maggie offering support, Rebecca dives into the heart of the village to untangle a web of secrets, lies, and betrayal. Along the way, she'll navigate royal drama, uncover long-buried treachery, and even attend a romantic dinner with the enigmatic Duke.
But as the festival draws near and suspects close ranks, Rebecca discovers that treason and murder can go hand in hand-and the killer is closer than anyone suspects.
