Callie Reed makes a long overdue visit to her aunt Melodie in quaint Keepsake Cove, home to a bevy of unique collectible shops on Maryland's Eastern Shore. When Callie discovers her aunt's body on the floor of her music box shop, she can't accept Melodie's death being called accidental. And why was she there in the middle of the night? Signs seem to come from her late aunt through a favorite music box, urging Callie on. Or are they warnings?
An adorable and enjoyable cozy mystery, from the charming location to the cute characters and the excellent plot, it was a fun read. I loved the world that the author created with Keepsake Cove, a beautiful little tourist town in Maryland with quaint little shops and I would love to wander around the music box shop, looking at all the different models. The characters were just as charming as the location, I really liked Callie, a realistic main character that is easy to relate to. But the plot really shined, from the ghostly music box to the twisty plot full of misdirections, I couldn't read it fast enough.
A Fatal Collection will delight any cozy mystery fan, and this stands out as one of the finest mysteries I've read in 2017. I look forward to seeing the series continue, can't wait for the next book!
