A podcast entangles the owner of Daisy's Tea Garden in her 10th murder case in Pennsylvania's Amish country. Daisy Swanson has agreed to be interviewed by her friend Trevor Lundquist, who's trying to make a name for himself as a journalist, about having been involved in solving nine murders. A caller to Trevor's tip line claims that an old trunk about to come up for auction contains clues to a 20-year-old murder. Out of curiosity, Daisy; her fiance, former detective turned woodworker Jonas Groft; and a few friends buy up two lots that contain a total of five trunks. Daisy already has plenty to do: Her wedding is in a few weeks, her younger daughter is heading off to college, and she's seriously involved in the celebration of a covered bridge restoration. When someone breaks into the shed where a friend is housing the trunks and tries to get into Jonas' SUV, Daisy and her friends, who've discovered nothing so far, decide they have to dig deeper. When a man is found murdered, Trevor thinks the old and new murders are connected and wants Daisy to help him prove it. Egged on, Daisy searches through the trunks, discovering a photograph and newspaper clippings that may have a connection to the cold murder case. Once the long memories of Willow Creek residents turn up a number of suspects, Daisy settles down to find the killer before he finds her. Plenty of interesting folks in this community elevate the complicated mystery. Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
