Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cosy mysteries with real stakes and genuine tension, not just the puzzle-solving part.
You like protagonists who feel like actual people: married couples with chemistry, flaws, and history together.
You want a series you can settle into, where the first book has a complete mystery but leaves you hungry for book two.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your crime fiction dark and gritty with morally grey detectives in big cities.
You find small-town settings clichéd or twee.
You want a standalone mystery rather than the first in a series.

About this book

Sue and Alan, newlyweds who met while solving a murder mystery in No Gifts to Bring, have relocated to Aspen Notch, a small town in the Poconos. They chose the location for its mountain views and to enjoy a quiet retirement. Alan accepts an interim position as Aspen Notch's chief of police—and only cop—expecting an easy role in a peaceful town, while Sue oversees renovations on their new home. Shortly after settling in, Sue discovers a dead body, takes in an unruly puppy, and receives a death threat. She must help Alan solve the crime before the killer acts on the threat. Murder in Aspen Notch is the first book in the Aspen Notch Mystery series.
