Murder Comes Home

Hometown Mysteries, Book 3

De: Rosalie Spielman

Narrado por: Eleanor McCormick

From author Rosalie Spielman comes a quiet hometown suddenly invaded by TV celebrities . . . and a killer!

Army retiree Tessa Treslow is as excited as the other residents of New Oslo, Idaho, when the cast and crew of the TV show Picks with Ricks comes to town! Tessa and her Aunt Edna put their car restoration business on hold to let the celebrity antique hunters pick through their old garage, hoping the trash contains a treasure that will help fund their new business. But it turns out that the pickers come with TV cameras, likeable stars, a stressed-out producer—and a murderer!

The show's lead makes an insistent offer on one of Aunt Edna's renovation projects and won't take no for an answer. And when Tessa finds the show's cameraman dead in the restored 1965 Mustang, Tessa knows murder has come home yet again. And the mystery takes a very personal turn when the dead man is found with an antique inscribed pocket watch connected to the former owners of Aunt Edna's farmhouse. As Tessa digs into the history surrounding the pocket watch and the relationships of the TV crew, shocking details—both old and new—arise. Will Tessa be able to catch a killer . . . before they return for a repeat performance?

TV show, secrets and a murder

Murder Comes Home is the 3rd book in Rosalie Spielman's Hometown Mysteries and it is a good addition to the series. Tessa Treslow, a retired Army veteran,and her Aunt Edna are restoring old cars. Their barn has been around for a long time and had stuff stored in it from the previous owners. They agreed to have the TV show Picks With Ricks do a segment and they would hopefully buy some stuff. The stars of the show were Ricki and Chick along with their assistant Irma, cameraman Lucas and producer Arthur. A podcaster Deeda is in town and the reason is suspicious The cameraman Lucas is found dead in Aunt Edna's restored car and secrets are plentiful. The TV crew, Deeda, and a couple of locals are the suspects. Tessa, neice Summer, and Aunt Edna worked together to help best friend Freddie, a police deputy, catch the culprit. Tessa is dating Nick but they are keeping it platonic until his divorce is finalized. It is nice that they meet for coffee or meals occasionally. I guessed some of the mystery but wasn't sure until near the end. This is an enjoyable cozy mystery and I am looking forward to the next.book. I enjoyed the audiobook narrated by Eleanor McCormick. #MurderComesHome #HometownMysteries #GemmaHallidayPublishing
