A good start to a new mystery series--though most of it is set up to the premise that the main character will use books from her bookstore to help her solve mysteries. (The bookstore opens at the close of this book.)

I liked the small town atmosphere and it made me nostalgic for those times and places where everyone really is a neighbor.


I was intrigued by the realistic portrayals of uprooting one's life to start over in a new location (no matter how much one was looking forward to realizing a dream) and in following a dream vocation. ( )
