Cassie Miller returned to her sleepy hometown in the Berkshires to start over as the new postmistress. But she soon finds that dead letters are nothing compared to murder victims…
With a massive storm about to hit North Ashcot, Massachusetts, threatening floods and widespread wind damage, Cassie is forced to close up the post office along with the rest of the local business owners and residents, who are battening down the hatches and bracing themselves for the worst.
Although the storm proves not to be as bad as predicted, fabric shop owner Daisy Harmon is found dead, seemingly killed by a fallen branch. But the police quickly determine that her death had nothing to do with foul weather and everything to do with foul play. After Daisy’s widowed husband approaches her to help solve his wife’s murder, Cassie vows to find the killer before another innocent victim is taken by storm.
A major storm is on the way and so Cassie (along with Ben the retired postmaster) are quickly getting the last bits of post dealt with and getting the Post Office storm safe. One of the final customers is one of the quilting group (which Cassie joined at the urging of her good friend Sunni, the Police Chief) but for some reason Liv is curt with Cassie. Cassie shrugs it off after she leaves assuming that Liv was stressed over getting her shop and house sorted out. As she is driving home Cassie sees Daisy shutting up the quilting shop, although she waves at Daisy there was no response (again the assumption is Daisy is just too busy!) After Cassie gets home she settles down to read, quilt and keep an ear open to the weather channel to track the storms progress. Unfortunately she hears that someone has been killed by a falling branch, then she finds out it was Daisy and the branch wasn't the cause of death.
With Liv still giving her the cold shoulder, a spat at the quilting meeting and Cliff (the new widower) wanting her to investigate Cassie has a lot to deal with!
