Publisher’s Summary 

Salvaging from historic buildings isn’t supposed to require reporting a murder.

When salvage expert and historian Paisley Sutton crawls into an abandoned store with a house attached, she certainly isn’t expecting to find a body on site. But soon, her discovery sends Paisley on an expedition through history that links this murder to the one that led the previous owners to abandon the building in the first place. And someone doesn’t want her to salvage this story from the wreckage.

Can Paisley preserve herself and her young son while also uncovering the stories that matter most?

My Review

As a cross-stitcher, I was excited to start a new cozy mystery series with a cross-stitching theme, but this was quite the letdown. First, cross-stitching is barely even mentioned in the story. Second, the main character is a single mother and the author points that out every other page. Third, the ending went straight into the Christian fiction genre. Needless to say, I won't be continuing with this series.
