PEACE AND QUIET CAN BE MURDER!Fiona Fleming had hoped inheriting her grandmother’s bed and breakfast and returning home to quiet Reading, VT would be a welcome escape from the city life in New York and her cheating ex-boyfriend. She figured the most excitement she’d face would be making beds, pesky customers and the awful stench coming from her grandmother’s ornery pug, Petunia. Instead, she … Instead, she finds herself elbow-deep in clogged toilets, the town blackmailer floating belly-up in her fish pond and she’s the prime suspect.
She’s soon looking for answers in the seedy-side of the tiny town and winds up in dangers she never even faced in the city. While she is surrounded with help from the odd cast of characters in this bizarre town, she’s not sure who she can trust. Her back-up, however, consists of her flighty yet fashionable childhood friend, her grandmothers nosy neighbor and her beloved father who seems to have secrets of his own. Then there’s the buried treasure she can’t figure out and how to get her mind off of how great the new sheriff’s backside looks in his uniform.
Can Fiona uncover the truth before the handsome sheriff puts her behind bars instead of asking her out?

Fun book, surprise ending.
I like this book for several reasons. It’s kind of like stepping into your your family with all their little quirks and of course you have your flatulent dog. Real every day problems mixed in with murder. Fiona is smart but like a lot of amateur sleuths, she doesn’t always know when danger is imminent. I’m looking forward to her next adventure.
Fun read. Could use a bit of editing. Missing words, etc. But cute and I will read more from this author.
Love the quirky character and the mishaps she gets involved in all the time.
Great book. Enjoyed reading it and will watch for more.
Didn’t care for the story so deleted it
Dragged a bit in the beginning, but I grew to love the characters. Especially the dog. The story blossomed and was completely enjoyable.
Cute little mystery
Entertaining
kind of boring
More teenage girl issues than I care for but good story just the same.
Lost interest repeatedly. Characters weren’t gripping nor was the mystery of the dead contesting land owner. Did not finish past 1/3 of the way through.
Great read easy and fun
Fun read
This book is so fun! The main caracter is very relatable and is a good role model. The mystery has many twists and turns! My new favorite series!
Interesting and funny Recipes are interesting.
A great cozy mystery and I’ll read more.
Enjoy the back and forth between Fee and Crew
This author needs a good editor — her sentence structure is often tortured and sometimes her sentences are not complete sentences at all. She also needs a good dictionary. She sometimes uses the wrong word or at least the wrong spelling.
A good read all together but lots of grammar oops that made it a little hard to follow in places.
