Ivy Towers holds fond memories of her times in Winter Break, Kansas with her Aunt Bitty. Bitty ran Bygone Bookstore in Winter Break.

I picked this book up by chance from Sam's Club. Three books for $6, you can't beat that! I'm so glad I did! I LOVED them!! I've been looking for more books by Nancy Mehl, but can't seem to find any. There are even some recipes at the end of each story--love that! We tried the burgers she raves about in each story. They were too spicy for our family, but I think I'll try tweeking them a bit to suit our tastes.
If you are looking for good mystery,Read the Ivy Towers Series!!! You will not be disappointed!! There are 4 books in the series!! Awesome Series!!! She makes you feel as if you are there with the Characters!! We have become friends on facebook. A Very Special Lady!!!!
Mystery book that was actually a mystery until the end for me. I couldn't figure out the plot of each of the three stories in the book. The characters were complex but easy to identify with. Really enjoyed it!
Sweet romance mysteries with a Christian slant
