It's 1941 in the quaint Village of Worthington, Ohio. Life is changing at the end of the Great Depression. Elizabeth Russo, 23, teaches elementary school but feels uncertain about her future. Her Sicilian immigrant father ran The Red and White, a popular village general store.

Five years prior, Elizabeth's high school sweetheart, Samuel, left the village abruptly, leaving her with unanswered questions. Now engaged to George, The Red and White's accountant, Elizabeth still can't forget Samuel.

When her father tragically passes away, Elizabeth and her mother are forced to manage the store. Her mother's departure to care for a sick relative in Cincinnati leaves Elizabeth alone. Upon her return, she hears a scream and sees a figure fleeing. The village banker, Mr. Collins, is found murdered, with suspicion falling on a local hobo.

Elizabeth and her quirky neighbor, Betty Whimsfeld, investigate the murder. As they uncover village secrets, Elizabeth struggles with her feelings for George and Samuel.

Will Elizabeth solve the murder mystery? Will she choose her stable engagement or risk rekindling an old flame? In Underlying Love A Worthington, Ohio Mystery, answers await beneath the surface.
