This is the second in a series of monthly mysteries penned by Jess Lourey, and will have appeal for those who love cosy mysteries.

We catch up with the protagonist of the previous book in this series titled May Day. Mira James is now apart time reporter, and caught up in the treasure hunt in the small town of Battle Lake. But the search for the fake diamond hidden in the waters of the lake is sidelined by an entirely unexpected discovery for Mira...

While the storytelling here is unlike Lourey's usual style of exploring secrets and lies, it does reflect her established skills in creating eccentric characters. The humour is also well done, the book providing an introduction to midwestern culture as practiced in Minnesota.
