The Key Question is the second book in the Mysteries of Blackberry Valley fiction series.

When Hannah Prentiss's best friend, Lacy Minyard, receives a strange package allegedly from her mother, she finds a mysterious key wrapped in a monogrammed handkerchief inside. Lacy is even more baffled when her mother reports receiving a similar package, purporting to be from Lacy! Hers contains a puzzling poem and a key wrapped in an identical handkerchief. Neither woman knows anything about their gifts.

Can Hannah help her friend identify the sender and decipher the poem to find out what the keys open?

Meanwhile, Hannah's father and brother are determined that she start dating. Hannah appreciates their well-meaning intentions, but she's more interested in making a success of her restaurant right now.
