What happens after you fall face-first onto a dead body?

Beckett Monahan can tell you, because it happened to her.
The year is 1985, and Beckett Monahan is on the cusp of her twenty-eighth birthday. Her job as a church secretary in her small hometown of Cherry Hill isn't glamorous, but it's about to get more exciting. When she stumbles onto a dead body at a wedding, she quickly involves herself in the investigation. People she cares about are being accused of the crime, so she must clear their names and help bring closure to the victim's family.
While investigating, Beckett has to deal with the reality that someone in Cherry Hill-likely someone she has known her entire life-is a killer. She is also forced to hide her efforts from the local police, who have told her not to interfere in their investigation and who are sincerely concerned for her safety.
With the assistance of some friends and family members, Beckett uncovers clues, debates suspects' motives, and makes clandestine outings to confirm her suspicions. In the process, she strengthens long-time bonds and builds some new and surprising relationships. But none of that matters if she can't find the killer before they take her out of the picture.
