Synopsis
Jezabelle Jingle and her neighbors in the Penderghast section of Brilliant, Minnesota, have a mystery on their hands. Someone is stealing sections of hardwood floors in their homes and the thefts may be connected to a long-hidden treasure left by the founders of Brilliant. Not only that, there’s a dead body in a basement to add to the mix. Can Jezzie and her quirky friends figure out the puzzle and find the treasure before some other, unknown person–maybe the murderer–beats them to the punch? Or will the town’s Chief of Police, Hank Hardy, prevent the group from their sleuthing? Anything can happen in the strange little town of Brilliant, Minnesota. After all, brilliant minds create brilliant finds!
My Review
I have so much fun and have loved the brilliant series set in Fuchsia, Minnesota starring the amazing Granny. I couldn't wait to find out what other brilliant cities the mind of this author has created and have not been disappointed at all. Brilliant is a cozy and pleasant city, full of lovable and witty characters.
Jezabelle Jingle loves solving puzzles. When start to disappear pieces of floors in the homes of her neighbors, she and her friends decide to investigate. This mystery will be very difficult to solve and the pieces to put together are many and complex, there is even a murder.
The plot is very intriguing, original, very well woven and developed, the pace is very fast, there are several twists: it's really hard to put this book down once you start it.
I can't wait to read the next case that Jezabelle will have to solve.
Highly recommended, especially if you loved the other books of this author

Her children’s series, Granny’s In Trouble gives her grandkids a hint of the young Grandma underneath the wrinkles.
Her books are light and fluffy and highlight the fact that in the midst of life we have to find the humor in bad situations to keep us going. “We all take ourselves too seriously and we need to have a little fun.” Julie secretly yearns to be like the Granny characters in her books.
