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.
