Book Overview
In mid-winter, Paducah is pushed to the breaking point.
After a violent incident outside a law office leaves a bystander dead and her close friend Dakota injured, Hadley Carroll and the staff of Paducah Pulse begin covering a story that quickly taxes their limits.
Then an ice storm descends on the city. Power lines fall. Cell towers freeze. Roads become impassable. With a shelter-in-place order in effect, Hadley and her colleagues hunker down in the newspaper office as Quilt City grinds to a halt.
As mayor, Hadley must coordinate rescue efforts, oversee repairs, and keep her city functioning-while a building collapses, a family crisis erupts, and new crimes further strain her already-fragile mental health.
Determined to protect her community and to hold the perpetrators accountable, Hadley rallies her friends and staff once more-all while planning her upcoming wedding.
Safety Second is a gripping cozy mystery about responsibility, resilience, and the quiet heroism required to show up when everything is on the line.
