"What a delightful cozy mystery! The atmospheric scenery, colorful characters, twisty intrigue, hard-to-solve mysteries, and wonderful humor enchanted me instantly." — Readers' Favorite
The lawyer said her aunt left her a building. The lawyer left a few things out.
Becky Whitmore came back to Hannibal, Missouri to sign the papers, settle the estate, and leave. Years of security work taught her one thing: the clean exits are the ones you plan.
Then she unlocked the River's Edge Magic Emporium — and met the staff. An enormous black lab who takes shop security personally. A golden cat who behaves like the majority shareholder. And the building itself, which has opinions and isn't shy about sharing them.
Because Aunt Iris didn't leave Becky a shop. She left her a secret thirty years in the making, in a town where no one is quite what they seem — not even the buildings. But others are watching, more of them than Becky knows.
Becky has spent her life planning exits; Hannibal is the last place she thought she'd land. It might be the only place that's been waiting for her.
Some of Hannibal's secrets come to light. Others run as deep as the river.
A warm, funny cozy mystery about homecoming and what we leave behind — set on the banks of the Mississippi, in the town that gave the world Mark Twain.
For readers of Sarah Addison Allen and Louise Penny.
"A strong female lead who brings strength and humor to the story... lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing." — Readers' Favorite
