Jaymie Leighton is a homebody that loves everything Vintage for her home so when she sees an old-fashioned Hoosier cabinet from the late 20's at an estate auction, she bids on it, not knowing the trouble that comes with it.
The night she brings home her precious Hoosier, she is awaken by Hoppy her dog barking and she discovers a dead body by the cabinet. Through numerous break-ins and attacks, Jaymie works to figure out why someone was killed her house and the prize that is driving the violence in her backyard.
There were a few too many characters (possibly caused by the new series introductions) but it seemed too crowded for this reader. Hoping the next is better.
