Crafting can be murder…especially when the glue gun points to you.

After trading courtroom chaos for hot glue and hand lettering, Jenna Blake is ready for a fresh start in Harland County, Texas. Her new DIY and craft shop is just the creative reboot she and her sister Kimmie need—especially after a year that left them grieving, restless, and done with big-city living.

But small-town life isn’t as quiet as Jenna hoped.

When a famous DIY influencer vanishes on the eve of a high-profile event at Jenna’s shop, suspicion lands right on her glitter-covered shoulders. And when the influencer turns up dead—with a craft tool from Jenna’s own inventory—it’s clear someone’s trying to frame her.

Enter Josh Bryson—Harland’s new DA investigator, Jenna’s childhood crush, and the one person she hoped to avoid while rebuilding her life. Now they're forced to work together as Jenna dives headfirst into a murder investigation, dodging red herrings, gossiping quilters, and a killer who knows how to cut deep.

With help from her tech-savvy sister, a few oddball locals, and a suspiciously prophetic gumball machine, Jenna must solve the case before her new beginning turns into a permanent end.
