Meet Miss Iodine Bell, a bombastic, plus-sized amateur sleuth with a fashion sense as keen as her observational skills. At a time when her picturesque town on the Hudson, Sugar Loaf Falls, is gearing up for a highly-anticipated arts and musical festival, the community is beleaguered by vandalism and acts of malice that seem almost supernatural in nature. Then Miss Bell discovers the body of a homeless man on a neighbor’s porch. As she attempts to untangle the mystery of his identity, it sets off a chain of malice and reawakens a decades’ old unsolved murder.
