Food blogger Hope Early takes on a cold case that’s heating up fast . . .

Building on her recipe for success with her food blog, Hope at Home, Hope is teaching her first blogging class at the local library in Jefferson, Connecticut. She’s also learning about podcasts, including a true-crime one called Search for the Missing, hosted by Hope’s childhood friend, Devon Markham. Twenty years ago on Valentine’s Day, right here in Jefferson, Devon’s mom disappeared and was never found. Finally Devon has returned to solve the mystery of what happened to her mother—and she asks Hope to help.

The next day Hope discovers Devon’s apartment has been ransacked. Her laptop with the research on her mother’s cold case is missing, and Devon is nowhere to be found. When her friend’s body is later discovered in a car wreck, Hope is convinced it’s no accident. Clearly, Devon was too close to the truth, and the cold-blooded killer is still at large in Jefferson. Now it’s up to Hope to find the guilty party—before the food blogger herself becomes the next subject of another true-crime podcast . . .

Includes Recipes from Hope’s Kitchen!

Review
Hope is banking on building a successful business by teaching others about blogging, and learning about podcasts. Her high school friend, Devon, has a podcast called Search for the Missing. As part of the program, Devon is interested in solving the cold case in her family. 20 years previous, Devon's mother went missing. Now, Devon has returned to town and is asking for help in solving the case.

It turns out that people don't like it when you poke around and ask hard questions of them. Sometimes, those doing the poking end up dead. In the course of Devon's searching, someone decided she needed to be eliminated as she was getting too close to the answers she wanted. Hope decides she needs to take over the investigation, and finds herself in some pretty interesting situations.

I really enjoyed this book. The dynamics between high school friends twenty years later as well as dynamics between sisters is what keeps this one going. As for the case, I thought I had it all figured out, but was taken by surprise by the ending. I'm sure you'll enjoy this one as well.
