Violet Waverly drives through the night from Chicago to reach her ailing grandmother in the tiny town of Cascade Springs, near Niagara Falls, NY. Grandma Daisy, who is actually fit as a fiddle, wants Violet to assume her responsibilities as caretaker of her magical bookstore, Charming Books. Violet has no intention of staying, but then her grandmother is suspected in the murder of Benedict Raisin, whose corpse was found with a title from her shop. Of course, two handsome men--the police chief and the mayor--vying for Violet's attention has no influence on her decision. VERDICT Flower, who also writes the "Amish Quilt Shop" stories as Isabella Allen, launches a delightful new cozy series populated with fun and quirky characters. This first adventure promises pleasures to come and is sure to please devotees of Victoria Laurie, Shirley Damsgaard, or E.J. Copperman.
