Too old for Hollywood at age 29, Lisa Chance leaves her failed acting career and a cheating boyfriend in LA and goes home to Moss Creek, Arizona.

The Folly, a stately 1870s mansion in the middle of her hometown, has always drawn Lisa like a magnet. She thought she was done with that place, but now she has the chance to turn it into the coffee shop of her dreams.

But when a dead body turns up on the property, she’s the prime suspect in the murder. Can Lisa figure out whodunit, or will she lose her last chance at happiness?

4.0 out of 5 stars Glad I stuck with it

Initially I found the couple of agressive and nasty characters, as well as the character of Lisa's mother off putting and almost gave up on the book entirely. But I am gvlad I stuck it ou as the story itself was intriguing and the conclusion satisfying .
Hopefully, the next book won't have as many unlikable characters.

For the most part, I enjoyed this story. But as another reviewer at Amazon mentioned, I could do without so many "ditsy" characters. I found that annoying but it did not stop me from finishing the book.

Probably wouldn't read any sequels but this story kept me reading to the finale. That was another plus, the ending WAS a surprise!

For free, definitely worthwhile.😂

4.0 out of 5 stars Good start to a new series

Lisa and Dylan left Moss Creek with stars in their eyes, hoping to become celebrities in show business, but like many who dream the dream, reality strikes and Lisa spent most of her time working as a barista in a coffee shop, sometimes serving up coffee for the famous crowd that she hopes to join. That was until she caught her boyfriend Dylan cheating on her. Returning to Moss Creek to nurse a broken heart and to try to start anew, Lisa decided that the one thing she enjoyed and was good at was making coffee and Moss Creek could certainly do with a decent coffee shop.

Putting all her money together with her aunt, Olivia, Lisa puts in an offer to buy The Folly, a large empty house in the middle of town, which she hoped to change into her cafe. It all seemed wonderful until the man who sold it to her turns up dead, right in the drive.

A good start to a new series. This mystery had a good plot and enough red herrings to keep me guessing as to who dunnit. I enjoyed Lisa and her parents as well as the friends who were there to help her. There were also several laugh out loud moments and some cringe worthy ones when her Mum tries to set her up with nice young men.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lisa's Last Chance
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2023

Poor Lisa Chance comes home to Moss Creek to her mom and dads house after finding her fiance in bed with their agent. She is kind of at loose ends and doesn't know what she is going to do with herself until the ex calls to tell her she has a BIG check from doing a commercial and her dream of opening a coffee shop in her favorite place called "The Folly" occurs. Problems start when the man she bought the place from is found dead in front of the house. Things continue to go even worse for her until the end of the story. This was a type of story to read when you are having a hard day and then yours doesn't look so bad.
