Clean eating never tasted so deadly.

Willowby’s Autumn Wellness Fair promises green juices, yoga sessions, and fresh beginnings. When Liam Carter, the charismatic owner of Glow Juicery and self-proclaimed smoothie guru, collapses after toasting his own signature blend, the wholesome event turns toxic. At first, everyone assumes an allergic reaction. Then the coroner confirms poison.

Suspicion quickly falls on Glow’s competitors. Tamsin Blake’s Velvet Scone Café has been struggling ever since Glow opened, and her new Autumn Glow menu is drawing side-eye from wellness enthusiasts who believe she is trying to profit from tragedy. Determined to protect her café and her reputation, Tamsin begins investigating.

She soon learns that Liam built his business on stolen recipes, poached staff, sabotage, and charm that turned sour. Marina Jones, an herbalist betrayed by Liam, appears to be the prime suspect. But others have reasons to want Liam gone, including his angry ex-girlfriend, a critical local doctor, a furious mother, and even Tamsin’s own cousin who worked at Glow.

With help from Inspector Crumpet the parrot, Professor Pembroke the Maine Coon, and her loyal friends, Tamsin follows a trail of mislabeled powders, shady wellness products, and fake health claims.
