I learned of this book on Instagram and thought I would give this author a try! Brook Peterson did not disappoint with A History of Murder: Jericho Falls Cozy Mysteries, Book 1 (Amazon link, NOT an affiliate link)- this is the PERFECT cozy mystery. It’s challenging to build a sound plot and interesting characters that many readers can identify with, but Peterson did both. From the beginning little “roadside fiasco,” to the very real dread many of us feel when returning to our home towns (even without the main character’s baggage), Peterson wrote a believable and compelling mystery. Main character Chloe is likeable and it will be interesting to watch her future unfold through Peterson’s pen. I know I’ll be buying book two in the series when it’s available.
