his is a really great start to a new fun mystery series. It is set in an old-time movie cinema in the town of Utopia Springs, Arkansas.
Halley Greer has just inherited the cinema from her uncle who she just barely remembers from a visit when she was quite young. She is both shocked at the bequest and then shocked again at the the condition of the cinema and the apartment she moves into which is on the upper floor of the cinema.
Let’s just say that Uncle Leon was the best housekeeper on the block. Maybe the worst but certainly not the best.
Halley doesn’t have much choice as she is unemployed and her former roommate had left her in the lurch without paying two months of rent.
While the town is small, there are tourists and Halley determines a way to make a go of the cinema and to add a coffee counter as well, which utilizes her barista skills. She gets a lot of help from neighbors who knew Leon well. George and Trudy are two older individuals who seem to almost adopt her and give her a lot of sage advice.
Not everything is rosy but things seem going well until a customer drops dead during the fantastic first showing of a great classic movie. Suspicion falls on Halley and then others. Halley works to clear her name and the suspicion that falls on her new business.
This was a fun book to read and I look forward to others in the series in the future. I was left wondering what was going to happen to individuals which is always a great sign that I enjoyed the book.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Edelweiss.
