Guidebook to Murder by Lynn Cahoon
5.0
I really enjoyed the first in this series. I have enjoyed her other series, and had this one on my TBR for quite a while, well I am glad I picked it up! Jill Gardner left her high paying job as a lawyer in San Francisco and moved to the small town of South Cove to open a book/coffee shop. Her day usually consists of working in the shop, reading and spending time with her friend Amy and Miss Emily, the old curmudgeon who befriended Jill. Miss Emily dies and leaves Jill her estate, which totally throws Jill for a loop. Jill is the one to find Miss Emily and notices that something doesn't seem quite right about her death.
The estate does not come without consequences, however and Jill is told by the city council that she has to clean up the house and property within a month, otherwise they will take the house. With the help of her aunt, and Detective Greg King, she throws herself in to saving Miss Emily's house as well as solving her murder.
