Welcome Home to Murder. Hometown Mysteries, #1

From author Rosalie Spielman comes a heartfelt cozy mystery that proves sometimes coming home again can be murder... Tessa Treslow never wanted a small town life. As soon as she graduated high school, she happily escaped her tiny town to join the U. S. Army, leaving New Oslo, Idaho, population 852, firmly behind her. Twenty years later, the hometown hero is finally ready to come back-even if she has just a visit with loved ones in mind while her family is hoping to convince her to stay for good.
With her fawn boxer dog, Vince, in tow, Tessa falls into the unsettlingly familiar small town life, helping out in her family's general store and her feisty Aunt Edna's auto body shop. But her peaceful homecoming is suddenly shattered when the dead body of a crooked con man turns up in her aunt's shop, and the police have some serious questions for the family. To make matters worse, the sheriff in charge just happens to be Tessa's ex-boyfriend...
and things did not end well between them all those years ago. When it comes out that the con man was trying to get his hands on the family business, Tessa knows they're in trouble. With her family in danger of being dragged away in handcuffs, Tessa becomes a woman on a mission to find the con man's killer. Between a slew of suspects, a meandering moose, and a handsome newcomer with his eye on Tessa, she has her work cut out for her.
But when the killer changes tactics-putting everything her family holds dear in jeopardy-Tessa begins to realize what home really means to her. Can she be the hero for her hometown once again... before it's too late?
