About this ebook

“Murder, dirty politics, pirate lore, and a hot police detective . . . A cozy lover’s dream come true” from the New York Times bestselling author (Susan McBride, USA Today bestselling author).
 
In the gentle coastal town of South Cove, California, all Jill Gardner wants is to keep her store—Coffee, Books, and More—open and running. So why is she caught up in the business of murder?

When Jill’s elderly friend, Miss Emily, calls in a fit of pique, she already knows the city council is trying to force Emily to sell her dilapidated old house. But Emily’s gumption goes for naught when she dies unexpectedly and leaves the house to Jill—along with all of her problems . . . and her enemies. Convinced her friend was murdered, Jill is finding the list of suspects longer than the list of repairs needed on the house. But Jill is determined to uncover the culprit—especially if it gets her closer to South Cove’s finest, Detective Greg King. Problem is, the killer knows she’s on the case—and is determined to close the book on Jill permanently . . .

The ups and downs of single business owner and the oh joy oh bliss of inheriting plus the emotional wave ofdating past thirty are gloriously thrown together with a real who dun it of a murder mystery. A great relaxing read. I am going straight to the 2nd book in the series for my 3rd offering of this author. Recommended reading for the mystery buff. M Asten

I haven't figured out how "guidebook" fits in. Main character wasn't too smart or steady and certainly doesn't end up solving the murder. A little draggy and not very true to life.
