A clever raven, a mysterious key, and murder in the misty woods.

Spring in Pine Hollow should mean mornings filled with fresh air, birdsong, and the release of rescued animals for Wren Dalton, owner of the Animal Rehabilitation Center -- but tranquility flies out the window when her raven, Quibble, drops a mysterious key in her hand and leads her to a dead man at the base of a cliff.

The victim, Everett Granger, was exactly the kind of town grouch who could sour milk with a glance and make enemies faster than friends.

Sheriff Herrera wants to call it an accidental fall, but Wren's instincts and a few suspicious footprints say otherwise.

Rumors whisper of a heated argument with a city investor and an ex-wife who was caught in a suspicious exchange before canceling the memorial.

With her caffeine-fueled, slightly chaotic friend, Deputy Rachel Ellis, Wren starts following a trail of gossip, grudges, and secrets tangled tighter than the underbrush on the mountain.

By the time someone starts watching her every move, Wren realizes the forest isn't the only place hiding predators... and Quibble's next "gift" may land her in serious trouble.
