Riddles in the Rain

In Cherry Blossom Bay, some secrets were never meant to be solved.

Piper Rose has officially called Cherry Blossom Bay home for one year, and for once, life is looking pretty good. She has friends who feel like family, a job she loves, and her relationship with the infuriatingly brilliant Kenji Kitsune has finally become something neither of them is pretending away.

Then Elias Rowan comes to town.

The eccentric newspaper columnist has made a hobby out of turning local secrets into riddles—and lately, his puzzles have been hitting a little too close to home. An affair. Missing money. Carefully buried scandals. With every new column, another resident of Cherry Blossom Bay has a reason to want Elias silenced.

Then Elias is found dead on a rain-soaked coastal trail.

Suddenly, his riddles aren't entertainment anymore. They're clues.

And the final one is about Piper.

With three suspects, three dangerous secrets, and a killer who may already know she's looking for answers, Piper must unravel what Elias was really trying to tell her before the next secret buried beneath Cherry Blossom Bay is her own.

Because when the rain starts falling, even the prettiest town can't keep its secrets from washing to the surface.
