Auctions can be murder. In the charming little tourist town of Dogwood Springs, Missouri, Libby Ballard, director of the local history museum, is on a mission to boost museum attendance. To attract more visitors, she plans a big birthday party for the town, with hopes of displaying an armoire that once belonged to the town's founder. But when Libby attends a local auction to acquire the armoire, she instead stumbles upon a dead body. Having a killer on the loose isn't going to draw tourists to Dogwood Springs-or to the museum. Even worse, the victim is the beloved cousin of Libby's best friend, Cleo. With the police preoccupied by a string of burglaries, Cleo fears the killer will never be caught. Determined to solve the murder and bring justice to the victim's family, Libby struggles to unravel a web of deception. But the killer is still at large and will stop at nothing to keep their identity a secret. Will Libby be able to crack the case, or will she be the next victim? Join Libby, her lovable dog, and their friends as they try to find the killer!
