Listen up, folks! Jenny Weston has just made the brave decision to return home to Bear Falls, Michigan, after a tumultuous divorce. She's seeking solace and healing in the comforting embrace of her charming hometown. But let me tell you, things take a turn for the worse when tragedy strikes and her mother's beloved little library is reduced to nothingness. It's like a punch to the gut.
Now, enter Zoe Zola, Jenny's quirky next-door neighbor. This little dynamo is a true lover of all things Lewis Carroll and happens to be a person of smaller stature, if you catch my drift. She's got a hunch that the town's resident grumpy old man, Adam Cane, might just be behind the library's destruction. But hold your horses, folks, because the plot thickens. Adam is mysteriously found dead in Zoe's very own fairy garden, and suddenly, our girl here becomes the prime suspect!
But Jenny, being the gallant individual that she is, firmly believes in Zoe's innocence. Together, these two fierce ladies join forces to uncover the truth and catch the real culprit red-handed. And let me tell you, their journey through the streets of Bear Falls isn't exactly a walk in the park. They dig deep into the lives of the town's wealthiest family, grill some rather peculiar townspeople, and uncover long-buried secrets that rock the very foundation of this sleepy little town. Just when they think they've got it all figured out, another body comes into play, raising the stakes even higher.
Now, here's the kicker, folks. Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli, the brilliant mind behind this cozy mystery series, has drawn inspiration from the timeless classic, Alice in Wonderland. Can you believe it? This adds a touch of whimsy and charm to the whole shebang, capturing the hearts of cozy mystery aficionados both young and old alike.
