Great title for a cozy mystery.

It kept me going right to the end. Never sure of which suspect was the real killer.

Determined to help her child, Kausar heads to Toronto for the first time in nearly twenty years. …

With the help of some old friends and her plucky teenage granddaughter, Kausar digs into the investigation to uncover the truth.

But even Kausar can’t predict the secrets, lies, and betrayals she finds along the way…
