When former journalist Jessica Hart returned home to the idyllic small town of Grace, Texas, she never expected to become a suspect in a murder investigation. 

Jessica’s life has taken a detour. After losing her job and her marriage, she returned to her hometown to get back on her feet. She began a lifestyle blog and took a job as a church receptionist. 

Jess was just settling in to small town life when she got fired from the church by the micromanaging church administrator, Sandra Dorian. Full of righteous indignation, Jess unleashed her fury in her blog. The next morning, the backlash against Jess was brutal. It seemed the whole town was against her. 

On New Year’s Day, Sandra’s body was found outside by the church wall with her skull crushed. Jess became the number one suspect. Now she has to find the real killer to clear her name and find out what's really going on. 

Along the way, she will tangle with her lawyer ex-husband, her feisty great aunt, and a former Miss Texas. The ever growing list of suspects includes a suspicious groundskeeper, a quirky accountant, and Sandra’s husband with a secret he wants to keep hidden. 

Before too long, another body is found at the church. Can Jess crack the case before the killer cracks her in the head?
