출판사 설명
Delighted by the promise of living and working in a glittering Gilded Age mansion, Minerva Biggs moves to idyllic Bryd Hollow, North Carolina with her dog Plantagenet. She's looking for a new beginning; what she finds is five quite possibly deranged people, four French bulldogs, two distracting dimples attached to one inconvenient man … and one murder.
Nope, make that two murders. When Minerva makes a connection between her new employer's fatal fall and the death of his celebrated great-grandfather in the same spot more than a century before, she doubts that either was an accident. Delving into old secrets and new grudges, she begins to unravel the twisted threads that bind past to present. Right up until she tangles them around the wrong guy. Oops.
With a trial looming, a scandal raging, and her job prospects dwindling, Minerva races to solve both crimes. Preferably before her new beginning comes to an unfortunate end.

Mystery repeats itself
Enjoyed characters descriptions. I bet too wordy for me.
Excellent!
This book really got me hooked- a heroine with an adorable dog gets a new job - but starts off on the wrong foot. Her employer is murdered, with only a burner phone, a flask, and some diaries for clues. Everyone is a suspect, from a cute young man with dimples, to an overly nice matronly wife, to an estranged sister who’s been cut from a will, to a mistress with an attitude. More so, the person in charge of the investigation won’t tell her anything, and won’t even consider any of Minerva’s theories. Minerva doesn’t know who to trust, and everyone keeps insulting her dog! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! (and no, i’m not a bot)
Protagonist should be in jail?
Breaking and entering (well not breaking in technically) into someone’s house and threatening them with your dog was not something our protagonist should’ve been able to get away with Scott free, that’s a serious offense, and you can’t just threaten people you don’t like 💀 besides that it’s a cute book if not a tad generic
