Mallory Hemingway dreams of becoming a serious journalist, but for now, she’s stuck answering phones for a sexist boss, dating a guy who loves himself more than her, and wondering if this is really all life has to offer.

When a hot tip about a crop circle leads her to a gruesome murder scene, Mallory sees her chance to break a real story—if she doesn’t get herself killed first. Between nosy neighbors, corporate corruption, and a mystery that keeps getting twistier, she barely has time to mourn her train-wreck of a relationship.

But one unexpected complication? The infuriatingly charming man who keeps crossing her path. He might be a suspect. He might be her next mistake. Either way, he’s a distraction she doesn’t need… or maybe exactly what she does.

If Mallory makes it out of this mess alive, she’s leaving town for good. No more dead-end jobs, no more bad boyfriends, and definitely no more murder.

Probably.
