Life coach Cat Cooper and her best friend Gilley can't wait to take a long vacation from low-key East Hampton. There's just one more item left on their planning checklist: stopping a killer . . .

With Gilley heartbroken over the collapse of his marriage, Cat has the perfect remedy--a three-week-long getaway to Italy. But before the duo can pack their bags and sip prosecco on the sunny riviera, they first must help a troubled client carve out a fresh start of her own. Wealthy Scarlet Rubi desperately seeks a greater purpose and immediate distance from her toxic descendants. The urgency of the situation isn't quite so clear until Scarlet takes healthy steps towards progress, only to turn up dead . . .

The matriarch of a wealthy family has been murdered in her home after finding a new lease on life. Cat's suspicions deepen when she discovers Scarlet was set on cutting off her children and grandchildren, each one more money-hungry and dependent on financial support than the last. As Cat and Gilley investigate a slew of sketchy alibis and concrete motives from the corrupt Rubi clan while preparing to leave the East End for Europe, they soon realize the question isn't who had a deadly vendetta against Scarlet--it's who didn't?
