When her mother's younger sister decides to visit Blackberry Valley, Hannah Prentiss is delighted! As she readies her apartment for Aunt Fiona's arrival, she comes upon a loose brick in her living room wall.

Turns out Hannah needs her aunt's help to get this investigation headed in the right direction.
Meanwhile, Hannah can't help but feel unsettled about the future of her relationship with her best friend.

This was a cute one. The mystery was mild yet multi-faceted, and some new characters were introduced. The reminder to trust in God especially in times of uncertainty was timely, given the state of the world and everything going on right now. We should all be asking the question: am I right with God? As long as the answer is in the affirmative, no matter what else is going on, you'll be all right. :)

Another well-written and intriguing mystery to add to the Blackberry Valley series. I enjoyed it. Several memorable characters are added to favorites that will hopefully show up in future books. I wish I could go eat at the Hot Spot!
