Synopsis

In the California coastal town of South Cove, history is one of its many tourist attractions—until it becomes deadly…

Jill Gardner, proprietor of Coffee, Books, and More, has discovered that the old stone wall on her property might be a centuries-old mission worthy of being declared a landmark. But Craig Thomas, the obnoxious owner of South Cove’s most popular tourist spot, The Castle, makes it his business to contest her claim. When Thomas is found murdered at The Castle shortly after a heated argument with Jill, even her detective boyfriend has to ask her for an alibi. Jill decides she must find the real murderer to clear her name. But when the killer comes for her, she’ll need to jump from historic preservation to self-preservation …

Review

I just recently picked up this series (after having book 1 to read for quite some time!) and I guess it says something when you speed through the first book and pick up the 2nd book right away.  I thought the second book was just as good as the first. Something I noticed in both books is that the killer isn’t someone I would have picked out of a lineup! The story is well written and I feel like I am there in the town and these characters are my friends. I like seeing Jill & Greg’s relationship continue and wonder what the author has in store for them in the next book.

We give this 4 paws up and look forward to book 3!
