Hope Jones runs the Brontë Bookshop in the small town of Sweet Springs tucked away in the rolling, green hills of the Virginia piedmont. Her best friend Peggy Sue Roswell assists Hope along with her smart, spirited fifteen-year-old daughter Stacey. Their tuxedo cat Nozy Cat is the bookshop mascot. Hope decides to get to bottom of the hit-and-run fatality of her husband J.D. from four year ago, which Sergeant Trogg and the police have ruled as a murder. The possible murder suspects include J.D.'s boss Dirk Sisler and his older brother Vince Jones. Fortunately, Hope can rely on the clever, resourceful Nozy Cat when she gets busy applying her sleuthing skills to identify who killed J.D. The Hope Jones Cozy Mystery Series offers mystery fans a clean read and traditional whodunit with loads of good-natured humor and a dose of the paranormal.
