Josephine Rivers Mystery Book 3

Josephine’s confidence as a detective continues to grow, but she struggles with insecurities when it comes to forming friendships. It is April 1967, a year after the death of her husband, and Derby is finally starting to feel like home again for Josephine. A serendipitous meeting at the train station reunites her with three old friends she hasn’t seen since her wedding, but she is hesitant to rekindle the bonds of the past.

Josephine is plagued by doubts, fearing that she may no longer have anything in common with her old friends and convinced that they will not want her around once they discover she is a widow. In the quiet village of Lower Crofton, where nothing ever happens, a series of unusual burglaries send shockwaves through the community.

The situation escalates when the first burglary victim, Audrey Varner, is found strangled to death in her own home. Despite appearing to lead a peaceful life, Audrey had enemies and secrets of her own. Why did Audrey and her husband separate? Was her seemingly innocent book club hiding darker truths? And could the burglaries be linked to her tragic death?

As Josephine assists Alec and Simon in unraveling the mysteries surrounding these baffling cases, she must also confront her own fears and uncertainties, learning to open herself up to the possibility of new friendships. Will she be able to overcome her misgivings and find a place for companionship in her life as she navigates the challenges of being a detective and a friend?
