Laura Evans has recently relocated from her life in Boston to the small town of Silver Springs, Vermont. She is the new café manager of the Silver Springs General Store. They are preparing for one of the biggest events of the year, the Cheese Festival. Jeremy Blackstone, a food journalist arrives and brushes too many people the wrong way. He is threatening to uncover the town’s secrets. Someone does not want a secret to be known, and Jeremy is found dead in the stables of the Silver Springs General Store. Maggie Brooks, one of the owners, is the main suspect. Laura steps into action and begins investigating with the help of Evelyn, her landlady. Together they visit potential suspects and put themselves in the middle of the investigation.
The story has a quick pace, the characters are well developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. I found the crew at the café to be quirky and would love to sit in on a staff meeting. They range from young hard working to retired. They even have a craft club if you want to be creative. If you enjoy cozy mysteries, I believe you would like this book. I look forward to reading more from this author.
