And she’d better do it soon, because the tides are rising, and one single misstep is all it will take to leave the city, not to mention her career, in ruins.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to—and I do, but once I dry my tears, I'm determined to find out who killed Trish. Yet, as we unravel Trish's personal life, her past, we find deep, dark secrets she worked hard to keep buried and hidden—forever. 
 
 
 
Things go from bad to worse as we stumble on secret after secret while we try to catch a killer. Join me and the gang for yet another adventure filled with magic, mayhem, and mystery!
