Retired fashion model turned business owner Mel Tower is burned out after solving a holiday murder at her arts and crafts mall. Craving a reset, she heads to the Wisconsin Northwoods for a lakeside escape -- and a first date with a silver-fox sheriff. Over turtle sundaes, sparks fly... until a man is found "pontooned" -- dead in his boat. When the sheriff's called to the scene, their sweet evening sours fast.

With a killer on the loose among the friendly Cheeseheads, Mel dives into the case, even as her best friend lands on the suspect list. Defending her pal puts Mel at odds with her handsome lawman, threatening their budding romance before it can set sail. Can she unravel the mystery without sinking her love life -- or becoming the next catch of the day?
