Just shy of her thirtieth birthday, Elizabeth Primrose is focused on building her career in journalism and celebrating a long-anticipated engagement. She has no intention of becoming a small-town detective. But when an acquaintance, an otherwise healthy woman dies in her hospital bed, and no official investigation is launched, Elizabeth becomes entangled in a medical mystery.
It doesn’t take long to diagnose a motive for murder: the victim had written a damning exposé and it’s up to Elizabeth to figure out who would have benefitted most from the report dying with its author. Suspects and scoundrels abound as Elizabeth matches wits with a devious imposter, a spiteful newspaper editor, and a high school sweetheart with secrets of his own and just enough medical knowledge to cover up a suspicious death.
With little help from the police, and a town coroner determined to exact her own revenge, can Elizabeth and her unlikely team of amateur investigators prevent someone from getting away with murder?

This was my first cozy mystery, and I absolutely loved it!
I was immediately drawn into the story and quickly became enamored with the main character, who I really related to. The writing felt so engaging and thoughtful, and I couldn’t get enough of the characters. The charming setting, especially the cafe with its delicious food, made me want to jump right into the story. It was a fantastic murder mystery, and I can’t wait to read more!
