The leaves are falling, the Halloween carnival is in full swing, and someone is robbing the residents of Branson Falls, Utah. There is no rhyme or reason to the crimes, but after an elderly widow is targeted, the town is up in arms—literally, and everyone is pointing fingers straight at the owners of the new tattoo shop, Inked AF. Branson Tribune editor, Kate Saxee, isn’t sure who is to blame, but she’s not willing to let an angry mob run the tattoo shop out of town without investigating—and she’s not the only one with questions that need answers. Drake and Hawke, both serious relationship material, are very interested in why Kate has been avoiding them for weeks. Kate’s love life and the robberies aren’t the only things on Kate’s plate. She’s also being stalked by a costume-wearing gang, helping Ella with her new online auction hobby, failing to avoid The Ladies, and trying to manage her mom’s most recent antics involving an angry goat named Humperdinck. Between all the chaos, Kate discovers there is more to the robberies than meets the eye, and if she doesn’t figure it all out fast, someone might end up dead AF.

A USA Today Bestselling Series! Journalist and editor of The Branson Tribune, Kate Saxee, has a lot going on. Her mom is in a war with a neighbor, Kate’s trying to navigate her love life after a memorable night, and it looks like a serial killer might be on the loose in her small rural community that’s getting bigger by the day. Utah’s population is booming and new houses are being built even more often than new Mormon/LDS temples. When human remains are found on a piece of Branson Falls property being developed, everyone thinks the bones belong to a lost hiker. But when more human remains are found, it quickly becomes clear that this was no accident. Rumors are swirling that the remains could have been victims of a notorious serial killer, and that attracts the attention of a popular true crime podcast, the Murderoonies, who descend on Branson Falls to cover the case and help Kate investigate. And they're not just covering the crime, they're also very interested in Kate's love life. Drake is the legal representative for the real estate developers, and Hawke is assisting law enforcement, which means Kate is working closely with them both. Given what happened at the Halloween party, that's about as awkward as "hussy" Kate in church. Kate's focused on finding out who's responsible for the dead bodies, and she's digging up secrets all over town. Someone wants the information she's uncovering to remain hidden, and they'll do anything to make sure it stays that way...even if it means burying more bodies.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • SOON TO BE A BROADWAY MUSICAL • The iconic novel that inspired the hit movie starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway—a gloriously wicked story about the ultimate Boss from Hell and the deals we make with the devil to get to the top “The degree to which The Devil Wears Prada has penetrated pop culture needs no explanation.”—Vanity Fair Andrea Sachs, a small-town girl fresh out of college, lands the job “a million girls would die for.” Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds herself in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace! at every turn, a world populated by impossibly thin, heart-wrenchingly stylish women and beautiful men clad in fine-ribbed turtlenecks and tight leather pants that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym. With breathtaking ease, Miranda can turn each and every one of these hip sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child. Andrea is sorely tested each and every day—and often late into the night—with orders barked over the phone. She puts up with it all by keeping her eyes on the prize: a recommendation from Miranda that will get her a top job at any magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the merely unacceptable to the downright outrageous, Andrea begins to realize that the job a million girls would die for may just kill her. And even if she survives, she has to decide whether or not it’s worth the price of her soul.
