Private eye Edie Fox wishes she could be half as glamorous and successful as her new client, Jessica Relish, who comes into her floundering detective agency in search of her missing husband Hugh.

However, what starts off as a missing person case quickly takes a turn for the worse. When the handsome, charming, and much younger Hugh turns up dead in a wood, murdered, Edie is determined to discover who had it in for him.

As the hunt to discover the truth begins and the list of suspects grows, Edie juggles work, chaotic home renovations, trying friendships, and a new relationship.

Can Edie fight her self-destructive impulses and find the peace of mind to see the wood for the trees? Or will the killer benefit from all her distractions and get off scot-free?
