Food blogger Hope Early takes on a cold case that's heating up fast . . .
Building on her recipe for success with her food blog, Hope at Home, Hope is teaching her first blogging class at the local library in Jefferson, Connecticut. She’s also learning about podcasts, including a true-crime one called Search for the Missing, hosted by Hope's childhood friend, Devon Markham. Twenty years ago on Valentine's Day, right here in Jefferson, Devon's mom disappeared and was never found. Finally Devon has returned to solve the mystery of what happened to her mother—and she asks Hope to help.
The next day Hope discovers Devon's apartment has been ransacked. Her laptop with the research on her mother's cold case is missing, and Devon is nowhere to be found. When her friend's body is later discovered in a car wreck, Hope is convinced it's no accident. Clearly, Devon was too close to the truth, and the cold-blooded killer is still at large in Jefferson. Now it's up to Hope to find the guilty party—before the food blogger herself becomes the next subject of another true-crime podcast . . .
Includes Recipes from Hope’s Kitchen!

Review
A pleasantly-paced, enjoyable cozy mystery . . .
Food blogger and amateur sleuth, Hope Early, lives in small-town Jefferson, Connecticut. Along with creating new recipes for her blog, Hope is teaching a beginning blogging class at the local public library. It is evident from her success as a blogger that she has a knack for reaching her audience, and she wants to share her expertise and experience with interested community members.
Some members of the local police force and community are irritated with Hope's amateur sleuthing. They feel she should stay out of the homicide investigation business since she's not trained. But when one of Hope's high school friends comes back to town to try to solve the disappearance of her own mother twenty years ago, Hope hesitantly gets on board to help.
Filled with agitated, defensive characters—male and female—and red herrings, this story leads the reader on a meandering path as Hope follows one clue after another in the search for the truth about what happened to her friend's mother twenty years ago. Along the way, the town is forced to deal with more foul play which results in more tragedy and heartache for Hope and the citizens of Jefferson.
There are some humorous side plots revolving around the antics of Hope's pets—Princess the diva cat and Buddy the energetic dog—which I thoroughly enjoyed. There is a bit of romance between Hope and the chief of police, Ethan. The author has generously included six recipes for dishes and baked goods which were highlighted in the story.
The book is completely clean in language and content.
I received a paperback copy of this book from the author through Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours. The opinions and thoughts expressed here are solely my own.
