About this audiobook
Nicole Fitzhenry-Dawes feels like she's the only failure amid a family of high achievers. Her last serious boyfriend turned out to be married and her career as a criminal defense attorney is in tatters. When her uncle passes away and leaves her his maple syrup farm in Michigan, she thinks it might be time for a career change-hopefully one that allows her to stay as far away from murderers and liars as possible.
For half a day at least.
Her uncle's suicide quickly begins to look like it wasn't a suicide after all, but the chief of police is reluctant to investigate and soil the reputation of his serene little tourist town. Murder's bad for business. Nicole has no choice but to search for the killer on her own, with a little help from the handsome county medical examiner-who's exactly her type and all wrong for her.
And as she closes in, she not only risks becoming the murderer's next victim but also starts to wonder if the truth is ever worse than the lie . . .

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nicole is the only member of the family to travel from Virginia to a small Michigan town for Uncle Stan's funeral. Though they kept in touch with weekly phone calls, Nicole had never dared to go visit Stan as it would have made her controlling parents furious. They hated that Stan had given up a successful career as a cardiologist to move to a small town to make maple syrup and give tours of his maple production, and besides, Nicole is kept so busy as a mid-level defense attorney at her parents DC firm, a career she doesn't really like and knows she isn't that good at. But when Nicole is the sole heir to everything, including Stan's house, she can't shake the feeling that Stan didn't commit suicide, as the good-looking and very friendly Medical Examiner verified. She also finds that Stan's best friend had a very good motive for murder. For once in her life, Nicole does what she wants to do, staying and investigating her uncle's death.A cozy with some maple talk, this was a fun story. I'll continue with the series.
