I have a deep love of mysteries and in the last year or so I have really taken a liking to the sub-genre 'cozy' mysteries. They all have the same basic formula, yet every one of them is different. With endearing characters and perfect locations. This one is no different and I'm glad to say this is looking to be another great series.
Rosie Hart is a caretaker for an elderly woman in the small town of Airlie, Texas. Alice Auchinschloss, is a longtime resident and one whom everyone in the town dislikes. Rosie is attending her funeral as the book opens and is the only one there. Not one person from the town has shown up for her funeral. After the funeral, Rosie is met with Alice's lawyer and is informed that she is now the recipient of Alices' entire estate.
Not long after that reeling piece of news, more shocking news comes to Rosie. The local sheriff informs her that Alice did not die from natural causes as first suspected but was in fact poisoned. Even worse, it was from something she ate, and Rosie was the only one that prepared her meals. Rosie is now suspect number one.
Things from here don't get much better. There is another murder and two attempted murders and a fire all while Rosie is trying to clear her name and solve a decades old murder mystery. This story was filled with so much intrigue, twists and turns, that you will not be able to put this one down. A real page-turner and I really like how everything was wrapped up in the end. I am very much looking forward to seeing what else Rosie gets herself into. This is a series to look out for! I received this book free from Booksirens for an honest review.
