"Melanie Jackson is a talent to watch."—WritersWrite.com

"I was delighted to find Chloe Boston and all of Melanie Jackson's series."—Connie Shelton, author of the Charlie Parker and Samantha Sweet Mystery Series

In the first installment of this light-hearted cozy mystery series, Chloe investigates the death of a local industrialist. Of course, her efforts are hampered by her lack of official status within the department. But there may be another way to achieve her goal of someday becoming a detective. With the aid of her dog, Blue, and her writer's group, Chloe may just be able to solve Hope Fall's recent homicide and by so doing impress the new chief of police.
