Death Takes Priority

November 1, 2015

Leaving her job at the main Boston post office, Cassie Miller returns to her hometown in western Massachusetts to care for her dying aunt and to take the position of new postmistress of North Ashcot. After three months on the job, she is beginning to feel more comfortable. When the only eligible bachelor in town is arrested on suspicion of murder after their first date, Cassie just can't resist investigating, especially when the sister of the victim (a high school beau) asks for her help. Cassie has to find the killer before she ends up in the dead letter office. VERDICT Flowers, a pseudonym for Camille Minichino ("Periodic Table Mysteries") has created a very likable protagonist to head her latest series. Fans of small-town cozies will enjoy following Cassie's efforts to build new relationships in her community. Who knew there were quite so many post office stories to tell? A fresh take on amateur crime solving.
