Blurb:


Windmere Cove had secrets buried deep. Now they’re turning deadly.

Noodle, Izzy Harper’s golden retriever, caught the scent of trouble before the gala began.
The director’s speech ended in applause.
His life ended hours later.
And Izzy was the last person he tried to warn.

The suspects? As refined as the guest list—
and just as dangerous.
An heir who had everything—until the director took what mattered most.
Now he’ll do anything to take it back.
An ambitious curator wanted his job and the multimillion-dollar deal he was blocking.
She didn’t just want him out—she needed him gone.

Izzy has questions.
Noodle has instincts.
What begins as a hunt for answers becomes something else entirely—
a confrontation with someone who doesn’t intend to let her walk away.

The more she uncovers, the more carefully the trap is set.
And the final chapter?
Might be hers.

My Review:

Murder at the Historical Society is a wonderful addition to Harper Burton’s A Windmere Cozy Mystery Series. I was hooked from the first page by its numerous twists and turns that kept me turning the pages.


A mystery from the past involving Izzy’s grandmother and her grandmother’s best friend has everyone in an uproar when a man’s life, Winters, the director of the historical society is suddenly taken.

Winter's death is not all that Izzy has to deal with right now. There is a mystery surrounding her grandmother’s cookbook and the appliances at her cafe that she’s trying to revive.

The mystery and suspense kept me racing to the end, eager to learn more about Izzy’s grandmother’s cookbook and her appliances. I wanted to find out who was responsible for Winters’ death and why they wanted to harm him.

I also wanted to learn more about the recipes in Izzy’s grandmother’s cookbook—recipes that were ahead of their time and desired by many, people who might be willing to commit murder just to get them.

I can’t wait to read more mysteries in the Windmere Cozy Mystery series to see what happens next in Izzy’s world.

I enjoyed reading Murder at the Historical Society so much that I highly recommend picking up a copy today and joining Izzy in another great mystery! Better yet, why not grab a copy of all of her books while you’re at it?
