Violet rushes home when her grandmother calls and says she is near death, but when she arrives she discovers her grandmother healthy and happy. Grandma Daisy explains she is the Caretaker of the book store and it soon will be Violet"s turn to take over. Not wanting any part of this role and wanting to leave the town she has not visited in 12 years, Violet makes plans to leave.
When she discovers Benedict, Grandma Daisy's boyfriend, dead in his horse drawn carriage in front of the shop with her grandmother's scarf wrapped around his neck, she fears her grandmother might be arrested. Along with police chief David Rainwater, Violet tries to solve the case. Getting in her way is her former boyfriend and town mayor Nathan Morton and his younger brother Grant.
I enjoyed this book for the location as well as the bookstore aspect, but the back story of why Violet left Cascade Falls takes too much time to reveal itself and it keeps intruding on the plot. Also the solution leaves many, many unanswered questions and I hope the next book (if there is one) answers them. Click here to see other books by Amanda Flower.
