Synopsis from Goodreads:
Silicon Valley tech nerd Emmy Forester loves a cozy mystery, but now she's in the middle of a real whodunit.
After an unexpected inheritance from a mysterious aunt, Emmy is on her way to the Appalachian Mountains to claim it.
Along a mountain road she stops to browse a curious country junk shop.
She overhears Jasper, the twitchy owner, arguing with someone in a back room.
Later Jasper is found dead and Emmy’s fingerprints are all over the murder weapon.
With her drama-lovin' dachshund Wyatt Burp, Emmy turns into an amateur sleuth to find the truth.
On a crusade to clear her name she finds out that Jasper's cousin has a grudge, his ex-wife has a grievance, and his shady antiquities trader has a deal gone wrong.
As she gets closer to solving the case, she receives a death threat note on her windshield.
She needs to find the killer fast before she ends up in a jail cell or the killer comes after her next.
My Review
Emmy Forester is stunned to learn she has inherited a shop in Hope Springs. She quickly decides to give up her life and job in Silicon Valley and head to Hope Springs.
As she makes the drive to claim her inheritance, Emmy stops off at a local junk shop. Jasper, the owner, is fighting with someone in the back office. Emmy leaves the shop, but later she learns that Jasper has been killed. As luck would have it, her fingerprints are found on the murder weapon and she finds herself as the prime suspect.
To add to the drama, she receives a death threat warning her to keep her mouth shut. Emmy vows to do her own investigation before she finds herself behind bars for something she did not do.
This is a short cozy mystery and the start of a new series. I fell in love with Emmy and her dachshund, Wyatt Burb. Wyatt helps her solve crimes. It’s a fast-paced mystery that keeps you guessing. It has the potential to be a fun series and I’m looking forward to reading the next book.
