The New York Times bestselling author of the Farmers’ Market Mysteries and the Country Cooking School Mysteries introduces readers to Star City, Utah, and a little shop called the Rescued Word...

Star City is known for its slopes and its powder. But nestled in the valley of this ski resort town is a side street full of shops that specialize in the simple charms of earlier eras. One of those shops is the Rescued Word, where Chester Henry and his adult granddaughter Clare lovingly repair old typewriters and restore old books. Who ever thought their quaint store would hold the key to some modern-day trouble?

When a stranger to town demands they turn over an antique Underwood typewriter they’re repairing for a customer, Clare fears she may need to be rescued. A call to the police scares the man off, but later Clare finds his dead body in the back alley. What about a dusty old typewriter could possibly be worth killing for?

      In the bucolic ski resort of Star City, UT, Clare Henry and her grandfather Chester are the proprietors of The Rescued Word, focusing on repairing typewriters and selling beautiful stationery and fountain pens. When a leather-clad biker tries to steal a customer's prized Underwood No. 5, Clare cannot figure out why anyone would be interested in an old machine. When that same biker is found dead in the back alley, she must get involved. VERDICT A finely honed plot and well-drawn, colorful characters will keep readers engaged. Shelton, better known for her "Farmers' Market" and "Country Cooking School" mysteries, launches a new cozy series that will be welcomed by fans of Mary Daheim, Jane Rubino, and Susan Wittig Albert.
