Spring has sprung in Friendship Harbor and love is in the air… along with murder.

Sophie LaFleur's plan for a charity bachelor/bachelorette auction seems like a perfect way to celebrate spring. Blossoming flowers, blossoming love—it was going to be a magical event to usher in spring and forget about both a recent slaying in her beloved Steamy's pub, and her own failed romance with her pub manager.

Even Jack, her pet llama, seems excited to participate in the auction. All the bids are rolling in and the event is a success. That is, until Sophie discovers a dead body in her lilac bushes. That tends to put a damper on new romance… and her flower garden.

Now, she's not only matchmaking, she's solving a murder. Except how do you figure out who the murderer is when no one seems to have a clear motive? Time to dush off Sophie's sleuthing shoes and uncover all of the town secrets.

Unlike with a Friendship Harbor spring rain, you can't wash all the dirt away…
