Who didn’t do it?!

Miss Marigold Manners arrives at Hatchet Farm, a gothic pile of a house inhabited by relatives so mired in the sins of the past, they have no future. She sets out to modernize the recluses with a brisk, ruthless efficiency, but her well-intentioned plans to manage their lives lead to malice—and murder. Marigold spies a body floating in the stormy waters surrounding the island, and her suspicions immediately turn to her hostile, weapon-wielding relatives when one of the local girls turns up missing. And she might not be the only one.

When another dead body is found in the garden, Marigold finds herself accused. She must enlist the help of an eccentric cast of friends and found family to save herself—and everything she holds dear.
