If a mystery can be cozy, this would be it!
A Vase of Mistaken Identity is full of characters you'd like to get to know, set in a charming community anyone would love to be a part of. Grab a mug of steaming cocoa, plop down in an overstuffed chair and pick up this book on a cold winter's night!
A body is discovered during remodeling of the local lake resort in the quaint community of Larkindale. The next morning, Thea James, proprietor of the Antiques Emporium, finds an old piece of paper with a list of names in a newly acquired antique vase. She is puzzled, but not fearful, when she reads the list that includes her and her sisters' name as well as a few long-forgotten campmates.
Then first person on the list has an accident and is left in a coma. Thea's world begins to change as she senses a connection between Hattie's accident, the list and maybe the dead body. She determinately sets out to find it and in the process she ends up with much more than she realized she was looking for.
Armchair Interviews says: Nice characters in this cozy mystery.
