What a brilliant first book , I couldn't put it down read into the night to finish.
With two murders to solve one passed and once present .
Loved getting to know all the characters and enjoyed the family get together.
Good twist past and present,very enjoyable.
I wound definitely recommend this new book and look forward for Judi Lynn's next book .

A very enjoyable read, and one that will be good to recommend to customers. I will be looking forward to more books by this author.

This was a wonderful book - a cut above most other cozy mysteries with its wonderful family relationships and complex plot. Jazzi and her cousin Jerod, along with their contractor Ansel are house flippers and have bought the house of recently deceased family friend Cal who was the fiance of Jazzi's Aunt Lynda who disappeared years ago. When cleaning out the house they find that Lynda did not run away as they thought but was killed and buried in a trunk in the attic. Lynda had lied to them previously when she went to New York not to take a glamorous job but instead to have a baby and give it up for adoption. It turns out that Cal had found the boy and he was coming to River Bluffs to meet him but never showed up. Then Jerod finds the body buried in the back yard and the past and present merge in heartbreaking fashion. I loved Jazzi's family relationships, I loved the details about refinishing the house, I was hooked by the plot and can't wait to see a sequel.
