After her husband’s brutal killing and her fall from the Hollywood elite, the disgraced Samantha Rathbone moves to Heywood hoping to forget her past and live a quiet life of anonymity as Sam Jones.
When she takes a job at the local herbal shop, Sage Advice, and the owner is found murdered, Sam is pushed back into the unwanted spotlight when she becomes the number one suspect. As she wades through ugly family drama, the questionable business practices of others, and the lies embroiled in a small town, she searches for the true killer, hoping to save herself.
Will Samantha be able to find the murderer before she’s put away for a crime she didn’t commit?
Great setting with interesting ideas and characters. Solving this mystery really surprised me. I even never guessed at the ending.
I enjoyed this one, I almost had the killer figured out correctly. I love it when I'm off a bit, kudos to the author. I do have a bit of a problem believing that the cops consider you the main suspect in a murder investigation and they don't do enough research to find out your real name, but cops do tend to look inept in any book or movie where a regular person solves their cases so that's not a problem. I enjoyed Sam's character, she had empathy for those around her born from her trials in life instead of seeing the worst she sought the best. That's a pleasure to read. I loved the farm with its mini cows and goats. Seeing her begin to reach out to Annabelle as a friend was also a plus. Overall it wasn't just a cozy because it was clean, but also a heart cozy, helping you see that everyone has problems they're working through.
Hanging on the edge of each page! Never knowing which direction and who did what makes for a page turner.

I enjoyed the characters and setting of this book. Just not convinced the police would not do a background check on Sam and easily find out who she was.
