Between trying to get her gluten-free baking business off the ground and helping her aunt remodel her old Victorian into the Butterfly House Bed and Breakfast in Cape May, New Jersey, Poppy is ready to call, “Mayday!” And now Aunt Ginny—who's a handful wide-awake—is sleepwalking on her new sleeping pill prescription and helping herself to neighbors’ snacks and knickknacks.
Even more alarming, a local humanitarian who worked with troubled teens is found murdered, and the police suspect the “Snack Bandit.” Other than a bad case of midnight munchies and some mild knickknack kleptomania, Aunt Ginny is harmless. Someone’s trying to frame her. Poppy will need to work tirelessly to uncover the killer and put the case to rest—before Aunt Ginny has to trade in her B & B for a bunk bed behind bars . . .
Poppy has moved back to the house she lived in as a child, she and her Aunt Ginny are planning to turn it into a Bed and Breakfast, there are just a few sticking points. The oven hasn't turned up, Poppy's late husband's mother (Georgina) has turned up, oh and Ginny is sleepwalking, not just sleepwalking though, she is also sleep eating and sleep stealing! Luckily Dr Melinda (the holistic doctor) has a change of medication regime to stop the sleepwalking (although the stress of Georgina trying to micromanage everything, absolutely everything! isn't helping matters), then there is a murder and Officer Fenton is sure that Ginny is the culprit, now Poppy needs to find somewhere to bake and at the same time make sure that Ginny doesn't spend her twilight years in the Big House wearing an orange jumpsuit.
