Within twenty-four hours, Alexis Danforth's world is shattered. She loses her parents and her job. Rummaging through the attic she discovers family secrets and returns to her hometown of Cryptic Cove; a quiet, sleepy little town perched above the sea. The disappearance and death of an elderly couple sets the town on edge. Accusations fly. The past is dredged up. Bodies are found. Some even question her return and the timing of the murders. As she joins the town constable to help solve the case, she finds herself attracted to her main suspect, Jake Donovan. Jake is handsome, charming, and secretive. Is he a threat to her or just a threat to her heart?

What Readers Are Saying:
**Picked up this book as it was free at the time. I couldn't put it down. Had suspense from the first chapter. Short chapters and a quick book. Bought book #2 before I finished this one. Can't wait to see what else is in store for Lexi!

**This one has a hint of magic in the underpinnings, especially with a pet crow that obviously understands more than one would expect! Mysterious poisonings, disappearances & a handsome, charming (too charming?) new fellow in town are all woven into a cozy mystery that'll have you wanting to read the next book in the series soon!

**Loved all of the suspense in this mystery. You just have to keep reading. A really great read especially for a short mystery. There is nothing not to like or love about this short read.

Cute

It was an easy listen in the morning while I got ready for work. It wasn’t a psychological thriller like I have been reading but was great for listening bc it was clean (if my kids walked in, etc)

Ok story, virtual voice awful

I hated the narration.
Story was ok, although good narration might have improved it somewhat
