Sticks and stones may break my bones but needles are sure to kill me.
As the mortician at her family’s funeral home, Luna Young is no stranger to death. But when she notices a suspicious needle mark on the body of beloved former teacher Donna Hinkley, she knows this isn’t just another natural passing—it’s murder.
With the authorities reluctant to dig deeper, Luna takes matters into her own hands, enlisting the help of her ever-enthusiastic best friend, Tina. But in the tight-knit town of Bluebell, secrets don’t stay buried for long.
From the ever-gossiping Soleil Tannenbaum, who never forgave Donna for a decades-old slight, to the eccentric artist Alvarez, still seething over a lost opportunity tied to the victim, the suspect list grows longer by the day.
Then, just as suspicions settle on Rick Patterson, he turns up dead. And worse, the cops set their sights on Tina.
Now, with the town’s whispers turning to roars and a killer watching her every move, Luna must unravel the truth before she ends up on the embalming table herself.
