About this ebook

The promise of old printer’s trays has her heart aflutter, but it nearly stops when she finds a body at the bottom of the elevator shaft.

When salvage expert and historian Paisley Sutton heard that a 19th century printing press was still in the old warehouse that was scheduled for demolition, she knew she had to get in there. But when her dreams of a salvage windfall lead her on the genealogical hunt for the owners of the press and their descendants, she uncovers a story that promises to stay with her far longer than the income from her salvage operations. 

When the story becomes public, will Paisley’s business be safe? Will she? 

Ratings and reviews

This series is quickly turning into one of my favorite cozy mystery series and I love returning to this lovely small town and fun characters each time for another installment. The mystery in this one kept me guessing, but I ended up being able to guess right who the killer was. I liked how the mystery played out, with us slowly finding out more about the murdered women and the possible suspects. I liked how Paisley didn't set out to solve the mystery, but was involved anyway as she was helping with the memorial for the dead women. It felt realistic. I really like Paisley and the awesome group of side characters. I can't wait for the next book!

Another great book with Paisley and her crew! I love how ACF Bookens includes all kinds of people, specifically trans people in this one. These books are more than just a mystery. They are also a lesson in compassion and humanity. Paisley discovers the murderer in a realistic way and she gets herself out of trouble in a realistic way. The murderer and other bad guys were complex, so even the bad guys seem more human. I just love this series. I received a copy of the book. This is my review.

Paisley is at another building to see what can be salvaged. Saul and his team are there to help. Par for the course, she has found a body in the basement. During the investigation, a complete turn of events occurs. A big surprise! I received an ARC, and this is my honest opinion.
