I was given a digital copy of this title, free. All opinions are my own. 

This picks up several months after the last book. Wen's friend, Rory, has come to town, on behalf of her old boos to try to convince Wen to come back to New York.  As luck would have it, Rory stumbles across a dead body, and instead of reporting it, she chooses to act as if she's never seen it. When it comes out that she found the dead body, and with some persistent prodding from best friend Maisy,  they take on another murder case. They're not very good, but they are persistent. They don't put the clues together in time to prevent a confrontation with the killer, and Maisy misses out on this part yet again. This is a quaint small town cozy, with  quirky characters and an environment that's excellent for amateur sleuthing. I will definitely be back for more of Wen. Maisy and Ria's shenanigans.
