Jordan Kelly has just graduated and needs a job. Unfortunately, the only job she qualifies for, besides flipping burgers, is as a research assistant for her hometown's most hated citizen, Vera Van Alst. She is an eccentric book collector and she has heard of an hither unknow manuscript by Agatha Christy. Jordan starts following up on leads, but when her best contact turns up dead, Jordan knows she now has more than one mystery to solve. There are no shortage of suspects; the overly smiley but handsome anyway cop, the creepy pale postal worker, the snobby book dealer. When Jordan finds out what happened to her predecessor, she begins to wonder if she will ever get out of this job alive.
While I was looking for Agatha Christie novels, I kept running across this one. Finally I gave in and checked it out. It turned out to be a fairly well written cozy mystery. I liked the strange host of characters, from Jordan's not-so-law abiding uncles, to the Italian cook who wants everyone to "eat, eat!". There were a good amount of plot twists, and some fun information about Agatha Christie. I was kind of glad there wasn't a romance involved. It is just a good, clean, fun mystery read. (293 p, 2013),
