Blood Matters by Renee is a gripping tale set in the aftermath of lockdown. Puti Derrell enjoys running at midnight, a habit that felt safe during lockdown. However, as normalcy resumes, the town of Porohiwi no longer feels secure, especially after Puti discovers her estranged grandfather has been murdered, found with a Judas mask on his face.

Puti is facing numerous challenges. She has become the guardian of ten-year-old Bella Rose, an aspiring private investigator, and the new owner of a bookshop named Mainly Crime. Despite her reluctance, when another murder occurs closer to home with one of her grandfather's masks tied to it, Puti and Bella Rose find themselves drawn into the investigation.

Through their journey, they learn that in matters involving family and blood, one often doesn't have the luxury of choice.
