Synopsis:
Richmond attorney Sarah Tucker returns to sell her family’s abandoned farm in Misty River, Virginia despite unanswered questions about her grandparents’ disappearance sixteen years earlier. Sarah was only twelve when she went to visit and found her grandparents had vanished. No amount of searching has brought answers.

Now Sarah is faced with other issues when a man is killed who claimed to have information about what happened to her grandparents. She learns of a Confederate chest of gold that is said to be buried on the property, and treasure hunters who are willing to do anything to get their hands on it.

Were her grandparents murdered for the gold? Sarah can’t sell the land and go back to her life until she has answers. But the cost of the answers may be her life.

Includes farm-fresh recipes!

What I Thought:

This book was totally enthralling. From the time I picked it up I kept turning pages because I wanted to find out what happened next. This was a very well written book that flowed really well. Sarah is a great character who was a young girl when her grandparents mysteriously disappeared. When she goes back to Misty River to sell their home, she decides she wants to know more. While there she encounters a lot of problems. There is talk aliens abductions, Confederate Gold, and of course, murder. This is a great cozy that will keep you turning pages and keep you guessing. It will also leave you wanting more from this series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review.
