    About this audiobook

    Salvaging from historic buildings isn’t supposed to require reporting a murder.​

    When salvage expert and historian Paisley Sutton crawls into an abandoned store with a house attached, she certainly isn’t expecting to find a body on site. But soon, her discovery sends Paisley on an expedition through history that links this murder to the one that led the previous owners to abandon the building in the first place. And someone doesn’t want her to salvage this story from the wreckage.

    Can Paisley preserve herself and her young son while also uncovering the stories that matter most?

    Editor's Note

    Cozy Crafter...

Historian/salvage expert and single mom Paisley Sutton is trying to find enough treasures to keep her son fed, but she stumbles across a big mystery that needs unraveling. Bookens’ refreshing prose makes it a pleasure to spend time with Paisley.

    What our readers think

    Readers find this title to have a good story with a nice cozy mystery and well-written plot development. The book explores day-to-day concerns of a single mom and has great narration. However, some readers found it to be preachy and with too many agendas. Despite this, many still enjoyed the book and look forward to listening to the rest of the series.

      Way to much toddler time for the type of book. Way to much sugar for a 2y/o. Also she had great support from a lot if family but thought it was ok too keep her toddler in a car with a cat next to the building that was close to collapse. The mystery was okish

      Good story but had a lot of agendas and tried to teach about subjects and was a little preachy. I happen to agree with that information, but it seemed to be inserted awkwardly. Single-parent struggles were mentioned many, many times. I'll try another book by the author to give her another try. Some things could have been shown instead of said in a literal way.

      Mysterious, heartwarming, interesting, and with a little romance all rolled into this wonderfully written and narratored book. This book is part of a series. Well worth sharing, and I look forward to finding more from this author and narrator.

      I am really enjoying this authors books. I think they are enjoyable to listen to. The narrator readings are amazing. She catches the characters and makes it a real story not just reading the book with her voice changes. Job done well by all involved. Thank you for the hours of entertainment.

      Positively the most annoying book. I don't think I've ever just quit a book- but this is so awful I couldn't stand anymore.
