Everyone knows everyone in small town Airlie Falls, so where could the killer be hiding?
For
one brief hour on a sunny Texas morning, amateur baker Rosie Hart
glimpses the life she’s always dreamed about—thanks to a surprise
inheritance from the late Miss Alice. But her benefactor is barely cold
in the ground when Rosie is accused of her murder.
As the only
stranger in the tight-knit Airlie Falls community, and the only person
with an obvious motive, all eyes turn to Rosie. Especially when more
bodies begin to pile up and mysterious letters from the grave start
circulating faster than Rosie can pull a tray of cherry nut clusters out
of the oven.
When Rosie begins to suspect the murders have links
to a sixty-year-old suspicious death on the very property she’s just
inherited, town locals become uneasy. But how can Rosie prove the two
are related—and prove her innocence—before the killer strikes again?
My Review:
A great who-done-it.
Alice Auchinschloss’s caregiver, Rosie, is about to test out
her sleuthing skills when Miss Alice is murdered and Rosie becomes the prime
suspect. Rosie gets the help of her new
friend, Jonah, his parents and a group of quirky elderly women living at a retirement
home, to help her solve the mysteries in the small town of Airlie Falls, Texas,
before someone else is murdered of injured.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. I had a hard time putting it down. The killer turned out to be someone I never expected. I can’t wait to see what Rosie is up to in the next book.
