After having the professional ladder pulled out from under in her by her ex-husband, Libby Ballard is determined to rebuild her life—even if she must move to a small town to do so.

She applies to be the director of the history museum in her mother’s hometown, the tourist community of Dogwood Springs, Missouri.

Although Libby remembers the area from visits to her grandparents as a child, she never considered living there. But when she comes to town for an interview, the more she sees of beautiful Dogwood Springs, the more she likes it. What once seemed like a huge professional step down now looks quite appealing.

But everything is not as idyllic as it seems in Dogwood Springs. While Libby is staying at a bed and breakfast run by a high school friend of her mother’s, a thief targets the establishment, threatening its reputation.

Join Libby as she tries to secure a new job and track down a burglar!

A clean cozy mystery.
