Publisher Description:

A small-town celebration. A historic armoire. And a murder at a local auction.

Libby Ballard, director of the Dogwood Springs History Museum, is working hard to boost attendance. Her plans include a celebration of the town’s birthday, featuring an antique armoire that once belonged to the community’s founder. But when she arrives at an auction to acquire it, she finds—not just antiques—but also a dead body.

The victim is the beloved cousin of Libby’s best friend, Cleo. With the police distracted by a string of burglaries, Cleo asks Libby to step in.

Libby’s determined to bring justice to the victim’s family, and she begins to unravel a web of lies and long-buried secrets. She soon realizes the killer may be more desperate—and more dangerous—than she ever imagined.

Perfect for fans of small-town charm, found family, and cozy mysteries with heart.

This is a clean read with no profanity or graphic violence.
