When Jamie Lang finds one of her hand lettered quotes on the window of her shop, Flourish, with a hole shot through a serif, she knows someone's trying to drive her business into red ink. Jamie confronts Earleen Culp, the ruthless owner of the local stationery shop, in front of the most popular breakfast spot in the small town of Cedar Valley. Of course, Earleen professes shock and innocence, so when she’s found dead in front of Jamie's home the next morning, Jamie becomes the prime suspect.Jamie's one cross-stroke short of acquittal, and even her best friend has her doubts. But Jamie's not the only one in town with a motive for wanting Earleen silenced for good. To clear her name, Jamie's going to need every last drop of ink in her quill.With the hot police chief Ridge, and her makeup artist friend Nora on her side, she’s prepared to go out with a flourish if that's what it takes to catch the real murderer. She’s desperate to save her hand lettering business, but will her quest lead her right into a killer’s snare?
REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
What a great start to a new cozy series! We meet Jamie who runs a hand lettering shop which is worked beautifully into the story giving us crafty tidbits off and on making this perfect for fans of that alone. The shop is doing well but one day she finds a hole shot through a quote on her shop window. This causes her to confront her main rival who has been messing with her for awhile now. This would be no big deal but the woman turns up dead the very next day making Jamie the main suspect. The resulting investigation is both fun and suspenseful at the same time as it all unfolds one tidbit at a time. Add the well developed characters plus the interesting little town to get a crafty cozy that will keep your attention. Makes for a great read. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
