Synopsis

She began a journey of self-discovery. She never expected to uncover an old boyfriend and a dead body . . .

Stuart, Florida. With her parents deceased and her son away at college, Cara Mia Delgatto longs to reinvent herself. And a sentimental purchase of a fixer-upper in a small, coastal town seems ideal for a new business selling repurposed relics. But when she trips over a corpse at her rundown building, she flips from renovator to prime suspect.

Desperate to clear her name, it shocks Cara to discover that her property once housed a multi-million dollar art collection—stolen after the original owner's death. And when her first love shows up and tugs at her heartstrings, her whirlwind life upgrades to a hurricane. With accusations of murder and theft looming, she's running out of redos . . .

Can Cara crack the case and rebuild her reputation, or will her desire to upcycle treasures send her to jail?

Goodreads review by Sandee

A wonderful book. The first in a spin-off series from the Kiki Lowenstein series. This one is about Cara Mia starting a new life after her son heads off to college.

Ms. Slan was a new-to-me author when I just happened to enter and win a give-a-way on a book blog some months ago. This book had been sitting on my bookshelf for a while until I decided to give it a go & I am really glad I read it. A true "cozy" mystery with a good storyline, likeable characters and......more
