What to expect

Jenny Weston moves home to Bear Falls, Michigan, to nurse her bruised ego back to health after a bitter divorce. But the idyllic vision of her charming hometown crumbles when her mother’s little library is destroyed.

The next-door neighbor, Zoe Zola, a little person and Lewis Carroll enthusiast, suspects local curmudgeon Adam Cane. But when he’s suddenly found dead in Zoe’s fairy garden, all roads lead back to her. Jenny, however, believes Zoe is innocent, so the two women team up to find the true culprit, investigating the richest family in Bear Falls, interrogating a few odd townspeople, and delving into old, hidden transgressions—until another body turns up.

Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli’s quaint and compelling series debut will delight cozy mystery fans new and old.

Critics Review

RT Book Reviews (4 stars)

“[A] quirky, clever cozy series launch…It’s hard to resist a tale in which one character observes, ‘Only nice people read books, you know.’”

Publishers Weekly

“Fans of Carroll will delight in Zoe’s flights of fancy, and the northern Michigan setting in all its splendor is a charmer. The author of the Emily Kincaid mysteries launches an entertaining series with a quirky premise and captivating characters.”

Hannah Reed, nationally bestselling author of the Scottish Highlands mysteries
