The ice is melting-but what will it reveal?
Spring has sprung, and Easter festivities are underway in Field's Crossing, Indiana. The annual egg hunt is a huge success, thanks in no small part to Lisa DuVal, the owner of Big Al's Diner who dyed all of the eggs. But when Sheriff Jhonni Laurent discovers Lisa's body in her catering van later that day, the happy holiday quickly sours, and Laurent begins a murder investigation.
All are shocked at the reading of the will when it's revealed that the diner will be inherited by Lisa's best friend-not by her daughter, which raises Laurent's suspicions. While working to find the killer, Laurent uncovers some unsightly secrets that Lisa's family had been concealing. Could they be involved in something shady?
As the investigation begins to take shape, it seems that the melting ice will reveal more than the first buds of spring. And when another body is discovered, Laurent must work quickly to determine how the two crimes connect-and who could be behind it all.
Perfect for fans of J. A. Jance and C. J. Box
