Salvaging from historic buildings isn’t supposed to require reporting a murder.

When salvage expert and historian Paisley Sutton crawls into an abandoned store with a house attached, she certainly isn’t expecting to find a body on site. But soon, her discovery sends Paisley on an expedition through history that links this murder to the one that led the previous owners to abandon the building in the first place. And someone doesn’t want her to salvage this story from the wreckage.

Can Paisley preserve herself and her young son while also uncovering the stories that matter most?

I must have picked this up during a “stuff your Kindle” event because I wasn’t familiar with the author when I opened the book. I’ve been on a bit of a cozy mystery bender, though, so I gave it a read.

I enjoyed it! For some reason it took me a while to get into it, but once I did, I was hooked. I love the older characters (late 40s) and the twist on an antiques dealer.

Overall, it was everything I like about cozy mystery–nothing explicit, a fun side gig (she salvages collectibles), and some suggested romance. I’ll definitely read this author again.

Rated PG.
