A Story by Patti Benning
Some small-town secrets…
Refuse to stay buried.
Bridget Rowan thought the worst was finally behind her.
After her Aunt Agnes's shocking disappearance, Bridget is determined to put the pieces of her life back together. According to her aunt, everything she needs, including the legal documents that could answer countless questions, is safely locked away in a secure safe. There's just one problem...
The safe has vanished.
Before Bridget has a chance to track it down, tragedy strikes again when a man is found murdered during a break-in at the thrift store just down the road from Nightsmith Novelties. With the shop owner insisting she's been framed and the police looking in all the wrong places, Bridget can't ignore a plea for help from someone who has nowhere else to turn.
As she searches for a missing safe, untangles long-buried family secrets, and follows a trail of suspicious clues, Bridget discovers that someone is willing to kill to keep the truth hidden. The closer she gets to uncovering what really happened, the more dangerous her investigation becomes.
Can Bridget solve the murder before another innocent person pays the price—or will the answers she's searching for disappear forever?
Filled with quirky small-town charm, memorable characters, clever twists, and plenty of amateur sleuthing, this cozy mystery is perfect for readers who love page-turning whodunits with heart, humor, and family secrets.
