Laid off from her tech job and a bit homesick, she\u2019s returned mainly to join her two sisters as partners in Sip &#038; Spin, a record store and cafe. But at their blow-out opening party, the body of a young woman is found in the supply closet. Very dead. That\u2019s bad enough, but she\u2019s also clutching Uncle Calvin\u2019s card. Calvin is arrested, the sisters put their shop up for collateral, then Calvin skips bail and disappears. This leaves the sisters with a double-headed mystery: who killed the victim and where in the world did Calvin get to? This is your sort of poke-around mystery, in which Juni bikes around town asking questions, although the way gossip flies in Cedar River, all you really need to do is stand in one place long enough and listen. But Juni\u2019s a great storyteller, the small-town Texas-ness of it all is lots of fun, and there\u2019s not one but two possible romances.
