Megan Sawyer should be shouting from the barn roof. Washington Acres survived its first year, the caf̌ has become a hotspot for locals, and Winsome's sexy Scottish veterinarian is making house calls-only not for the animals. But as summer slips into fall and Winsome prepares for its grand Oktoberfest celebration, beer isn't the only thing brewing. When the town's pub owner is killed in a freak accident, Megan suspects something sinister is afoot in Winsome-but no one is listening. As nights grow longer and temperatures chill, Megan must plow through Winsome's fixation with autumn festivities to harvest the truth-before another dead body marks the season.
