      “Like what?”

      Cold Case Detectives: Powerful investigations, unexpected passion...

      Dear Reader,

      When I decided to write Hometown Detective, I wanted to set the story in a charming small town. I picked Chesterville, West Virginia (which is a fictitious town, as are most of the towns in my stories), because of its location near Monongahela National Forest in the Appalachian Mountains. So, the town is as dear to me as the characters. Roman Cooper is a hometown man. He just needs the right woman to bring him back there!

      Curl up in your cozies and see how a Christmas shop entrepreneur and a reluctant, sexy detective overcome personal obstacles as they chase down a killer. You may also want to check out my other Cold Case Detectives books. I am beginning to build up quite a few.

      Sincerely,

      Jennifer Morey

      For Mom. Wish you were here to see this.

       About the Publisher

       Chapter 1

      The bakery owner approached the checkout counter with an anniversary bouquet and Kendra Scott’s day brightened. One of her regulars, she knew him by name. She also gave him some of her business, but not because she felt obligated. Denny and his wife made the best pastries she’d ever tasted. A big guy, his lumbering gait made him seem like a teddy bear in an intimidating body. Kendra adored her customers, especially those who showed genuine love for their spouses. She also adored them when they kept her busy or provided much needed distractions over the last few days.

      Waiting for Dark Alley Investigations to send a detective was beginning to grate on her. When would someone call? Jasper Roesch had told her he’d assign someone to her case, but so far no one had come. She was anxious to get started on the investigation into her twin sister’s murder. She called it murder but the police hadn’t. Yet. She’d get them to change their minds. Her twin sister did not commit suicide.
