Publisher's summary

Vintage cookware enthusiast Jaymie Leighton is thrilled at the prospect of meeting an elderly descendant of her town's founding father, not least because she's known to possess an enviably large collection of antique spice graters. But the curmudgeonly woman also has substantial real estate holdings, and at the moment she's engaged in a fierce battle with a property developer who wants her to sell off her old buildings in the name of progress. When Jaymie goes to visit the woman and discovers that there's been an attempt on her life, she polishes up her sleuthing skills to find out who was behind the foul deed.

Her first instinct is to suspect the developer, but as she digs deeper into the case she learns that her older new friend has purportedly been the victim of numerous criminal acts - all of which point to different suspects. Unsure if the stories are true or simply the confused ramblings of a senior citizen, Jaymie sifts through the clues hoping to expose the culprit, but she knows that if she keeps stirring up trouble, she'll be next on the would-be killer's list....

5 Stars

This is an entertaining and well written cozy mystery. The characters and plot are well developed. There are several plot twists to keep the story flowing at an even pace. I enjoy this series and look forward to the next story in this series.

Just delightful

I just absolutely love this series and Jayme and her little growing family!! I hope these keep getting more and more sequels!! I can’t wait to see what will happen next with the farm and Josie and Heartbreak Island too. I just love every single thing about it!!

Volume

I could not get through this book. My problem was the volume. When switching characters in the book the narration would go from a normal volume to a REALLY LOUD volume. I would then turn down the volume and when the character changed it was hard to hear unless I turned up the volume again. Unbearable

Volume

Volume would go from normal to extremely high, in my opinion, other than that, it was good.
