A teacup, a diary, and a body at the foot of the stairs....

When Ruth Townsend’s job and marriage both end abruptly, she heads home to the mountains for a fresh start. Nine months later, she has a new hobby, good friends, and a potential new romance - but only two dozen subscribers to the weekly newspaper she’s intent on reviving. What she needs is a good mystery...but nothing ever happens in sleepy little Thistlewood.

Then Edith Morton is found dead at the bottom of her staircase. Her son and the sheriff both assume that the old woman jumped, but a shattered teacup and eerie passages from Edith’s diary about a dark-haired boy lead Ruth to believe there’s more to the story. Was Edith simply a victim of dementia, or did someone push her over the edge? Ruth is too curious not to keep digging, but her investigation is unearthing secrets someone spent decades trying to hide.

Can Ruth find out who killed Edith Morton before she or someone she loves becomes the next obituary in the Thistlewood Star?

I have only read the first book in this series so far, but it is an excellent beginning and I will definitely read the next one. The characters are likeable but have varied backgrounds and perspectives . I hope we will learn more about each backstory as the series continues. If Stephanie Plum and Kinsey Milhone get a little wiser as they age, I think they will end up like the protagonist Ruth Townsend.

A great beginning to a new series

I spend most of my day in the car and I decided to switch from Music to Audiobooks today. This one was short enough that I could listen to in a day. It took some turns I didn’t see coming and had a few solid laughs as well. Kate Rudd’s narrating is fantastic as always. I love her work. I definitely need to get the other 2 books. This isn’t a genre I usually read but I think I am going to need to start.

Absolutely Brilliant
