This was a fun read! I liked all the various elements added to the mystery, like the treasure hunt and small town vibes. There were a few times where I felt like some of the characters were a little more random in their actions/conversations sometimes, but it didn't take away much from the story as a whole.

Cute and cozy murder mystery. I liked that she came back home and struggled with her transition of being back in a small town.
