Later, during a visit to the park where she and Miguel plan to hold their engagement party--with plenty of baked goods on the menu--her rescue pug, Agatha, sniffs out Josh lying in a bed of poppies...scone cold dead. There's no reason for Ivy to get involved.

She doesn't think there's a grain of truth to the seedy rumors--but to prove it, she'll have to start sleuthing . . .
