Read a Review:

Olivia Chatham is loved by everyone in town. She believes she was born luck, and she bestows that luck on others in town. She helps them with whatever they need. She just does it in a way they don't feel like it's charity.

Recently she moved back in with her parents in Chatham. The town was named after one of her great grandfathers.

A murder shocks the small town. Olivia sets out to help. She meets Tucker Monroe, a stranger who recently arrived in town. He chose the town to get away from a bad romance. He likes the small town. Olivia turns out to be part of his alibi, and they begin working together to try to solve the crime. Olivia's best friend Josie helps as well. She gets close to Ben, a policeman, to get information, and soon a romance develops.

Tucker has his work cut out for him trying to keep Olivia safe. She is very trusting and naïve and the killer uses that to his advantage.

This is a cute cozy mystery with a very likeable protagonist. I really enjoyed it. Olivia's simplicity sometimes surprised me, but in the end she is just such a great character you can't help but love her. Tucker is fabulous, too. They work really well together, too. I enjoyed their interactions and learning about each other.

Josie is a great best friend. She is a big help in the investigation as well. Her worldly knowledge helps Olivia through some of the sticky parts she doesn't understand.

I highly recommend this book and look forward to many more adventures.

This is a laugh out loud masterpiece. Wholly clean, it intrigues you and keeps you smiling from beginning to end. Olivia is utterly charming and I hope this is only her first outing as a sleuth. I love this book and it goes on my virtual keeper shelf.
