A picturesque Mediterranean village near Barcelona, where neighbours know each other by name, the food is unforgettable, every celebration brings people together... and murder is always the last thing anyone expects. When Catalan cozy mystery author Crisálida Cross, known to everyone in Demarenys simply as Cris Cross, moves to the village hoping for a quieter life after her fiftieth birthday, she believes she has finally found the perfect place to begin again. Until a guest falls to their death from the balcony of the hotel where she enjoys a peaceful breakfast every morning while reading the daily newspaper. The police believe it was a tragic accident. Cris has her doubts. Miquel, the local police inspector, knows that Cris often notices what others overlook and values her unique perspective. Together with Justo, a retired police inspector; Mireia, Miquel's sister, whose generous heart is as remarkable as her homemade cakes; and Clara, the young ticket clerk at the village railway station, they begin to uncover the secrets hidden beneath Demarenys' peaceful appearance—secrets someone is willing to kill to protect.
