Stranded in a small town. Trapped in a locked-room murder. One bartender’s detour turns deadly.
Elsie Harper is newly divorced, emotionally bruised, and determined to rebuild her life—just as soon as she makes it to Mountain Wood to claim her great-aunt’s inn. But when her car sputters to a halt outside the impossibly quaint town of Cloverdale, she finds herself stuck amid cinnamon-scented gossip, nosy knitters, and a murder that’s anything but cozy.
When the beloved antique shop owner is found dead—inside a locked store, with a coded message on the counter—Elsie’s sharp people-reading skills from years behind the bar kick into high gear. With her lovable border collie, Murphy, by her side, she’s drawn into a tangle of small town dramas.
Was it the bitter ex-shopkeeper humiliated in public? Or the skittish delivery driver who broke the expensive antique?
As clues mount and danger creeps closer, Elsie must unravel the truth—before the killer strikes again and her first fresh start becomes her last.
Genre: Mystery
