The vintage kitchen gear was an interesting background for the mystery.

* Jaymie is pretty interesting, collecting vintage kitchen gear as well as writing cookbooks based on vintage recipes. I liked how she didn't want to be scared out of her house after the murder. She is a bit selfless as she helps lots of people with different things.
* a good mystery
* interesting characters in the small town

I felt a little overwhelmed by the introduction of so many characters in such a short period of time. i found myself flipping back a few pages to see how people were connected. I enjoyed the vintage kitchenwares and the Hoosier cabinet. 3 stars
Jaymie Leighton is a collector of vintage cookware and long forgotten cookbooks.

Looks like a great start to a new series! I really like Jaymie and love the town of Queensville. I thought it was pretty cool that Canadian and American holidays are celebrated in this town since it is right across the border from Canada (in Michigan).
