Strange Inheritance at River's Edge (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991122665)

Becky Whitmore wasn't planning to stay.

She came home to Hannibal, Missouri for one reason: to settle an inheritance she never expected from an aunt she barely knew.

She didn't expect the River's Edge Magic Emporium to feel like it had been waiting for her. She didn't expect the enormous black lab and the imperious golden cat who had apparently been running the place on their own. And she definitely didn't expect the building itself to have opinions.

But Iris White didn't just leave Becky a building. She left her a secret thirty years in the making, a town full of people with long memories, and a mystery that someone from Chicago is very interested in keeping buried.

Becky is a decorated veteran, a former private security contractor, and a woman who has spent years being useful to everyone except herself. Hannibal is the last place she thought she'd land.

It might be the first place she's ever belonged.

Strange Inheritance at River's Edge is a warm, funny, and quietly poignant mystery about homecoming, grief, and what we leave behind for the people we love - set in the town that gave the world Mark Twain.

For readers of Sarah Addison Allen and Louise Penny's Three Pines mysteries.
