Fleeing the press and the public eye after a scandalous divorce, Eliza Crumb runs home to coastal North Carolina. But these aren't the healing waters she remembers. Someone's poisoned the well in Story Island.
A blogger calling herself Poison Penelope is choking the town with a noxious brew of shameful fact and scurrilous fiction. When the subject of a particularly venomous post turns up dead, an apparent suicide, Eliza is convinced things aren't as they seem. Armed with old friends, a new beagle, and the Southern sass she thought she'd lost, she'll stop at nothing to find the one antidote that can save Story: the truth.
If she can't, this might just be where her own story ends.
