Description

A deadly longbow shot shatters the calm at Audley Castle, and Holly Holmes is caught in the middle of the chaos.

Moments before the annual longbow competition begins, Lady Philippa warns Holly that a murder is about to happen. Her predictions are usually right, which means someone's already living on borrowed time. When an arrow finds its mark and a guest dies, the cheerful event becomes a full-blown crime scene.

Accident or murder? Holly doesn't buy the accident theory.

Her search for the truth uncovers bitter rivalries, jealous lovers, bruised egos, and secrets that could destroy reputations. Castle security tells her to stay out of it, but Holly's never been good at following instructions. And when a second guest falls victim to the longbow killer, she's racing the clock to catch them.

With Meatball the corgi at her side and more suspects than pastries at a bake sale, Holly's determined to expose the truth before another arrow flies.
