Building on her recipe for success with her food blog, Hope at Home, Hope is teaching her first blogging class at the local library in Jefferson, Connecticut. She's also learning about podcasts, including a true-crime one called Search for the Missing, hosted by Hope's childhood friend, Devon Markham. Twenty years ago on Valentine's Day, right here in Jefferson, Devon's mom disappeared and was never found. Finally Devon has returned to solve the mystery of what happened to her mother--and she asks Hope to help.
The next day Hope discovers Devon's apartment has been ransacked. Her laptop with the research on her mother's cold case is missing, and Devon is nowhere to be found. When her friend's body is later discovered in a car wreck, Hope is convinced it's no accident. Clearly, Devon was too close to the truth, and the cold-blooded killer is still at large in Jefferson. Now it's up to Hope to find the guilty party--before the food blogger herself becomes the next subject of another true-crime podcast . . .
Debra Sennefelder provides us with a slow cook mystery that makes you sniff the air with appreciation!
The snow is coming down in Jefferson, leading Hope Early to make lots of comfort food for her blog (with friends and family being the grateful recipients!), when she goes to see her sister's staging shop she discovers that the apartment above is being rented out to an old school friend she hasn't seen from graduation. The friend (Dev0n) runs a podcast dealing with cold cases as a way of coping with the fact that her own mother disappeared 20 years ago, and when Devon and Hope chat Devon seems to think that she can solve this case (as she has done with others). It seems though that not everyone is happy with Devon digging up the past and when she dies a couple of days after arriving in town and the apartment is ransacked it seems she was getting too close for someone's comfort.
Now Hope has taken up where Devon left off ... and she just has to hope that she doesn't end up dead and buried as well!
