A seemingly innocent pre-wedding spa treatment turns deadly when a bride dies from anaphylactic shock after using a facial scrub, plunging the shop owner into a murder investigation. Andi, the owner of a soap shop in Greenburg, Tennessee, finds her business and reputation threatened when her client, Charla Rae Thacker, succumbs to anaphylactic shock. The cause: a facial scrub blended by Andi herself. Suspicion mounts when Andi discovers strawberries, a known lethal allergen for Charla, hidden within the scrub, suggesting deliberate sabotage and murder. Andi must now uncover the truth to clear her name and find the real killer before her livelihood is destroyed.
