Cozy Mystery

They must solve the cold case in hopes of figuring out what happened to the missing author. Summer has other issues though.

Ben, the police chief, still is not a fan of Summer’s and does not welcome her interference. But what is Summer to do?
Opinion
This is quite the read. With short chapters, the book flies by. I was not able to guess who did it but there were definitely some well laid clues throughout the book. This is a great read for a cold autumn/winter day.
Many thanks to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC of this book.
