Summer Breeze, Florida - I Saw It First, Trash to Treasure Shop

Christy Castleman thought her day was just going to be another ordinary boring day at her shop until Zeffie Adams walks in with a jewelry box.

Christy Castleman  feels bad that Zeffie needs to sell the box in order to pay her grandmother’s medical bills.  She offers Zeffie more money than it is worth.  When she examines the box, she uncovers a slip of paper from the lining which happens to pertain to a cold case from eight years ago.  Against her family wishes, she decides to investigate this on her own, since the murder happened not far from her grandmother’s farm.  What could possibly go wrong to ask questions at the Strickland plantation about what happened almost a decade ago?

She soon finds out someone does not want her or anyone else to learn the truth about the murder at the plantation.  When she starts getting close to answers, accidents start happening which to Christy means she is on the right track.  Can she solve a murder mystery before she becomes one herself and can she get others to let go of the past before it’s too late for them?

I enjoyed this book a great deal.  Even though there is murder and mayhem, there are some funny moments in the book.  When Zeffie Got a Clue is the third book in the cozy mysteries set in Summer Breeze, Florida.  Readers will enjoy this one as much as the first two.
