Murder in a Locked Room

Opening an escape room was supposed to be Shay Reynolds's fresh start…not the scene of a murder.

Back home in her small hometown, Shay is just days away from opening her new business with her two lifelong friends when she makes a shocking discovery: a dead body inside the unfinished escape room. Overnight, her dream turns into a crime scene, and Shay finds herself at the center of a mystery no one expected.

With rumors swirling and suspicion spreading faster than clues, Shay is determined to clear her name and save her business. Armed with curiosity, and the help of her friends, she begins digging into the town's secrets… much to the irritation of Detective Garrett Locke, who seems convinced she knows more than she's saying.

As tensions rise and secrets unravel, Shay must navigate small-town gossip, misleading clues, and her own growing attraction to the very detective standing in her way.

Can she solve the puzzle before her business closes for good…. or before the killer strikes again?
