About this book:
“Blue
Hill is in an uproar! A representative from Beau-Mart is in the area, looking
for a place to build its next big-box discount store. Competition is fierce
among landowners wanting to make a huge profit, but things turn dangerous when
someone starts sabotaging the land surveys. Is one of the landowners trying to
edge out the competition? Or is it a contingent of residents who believe
Beau-Mart will ruin local businesses and destroy Blue Hill's village charm?
When a fire breaks out on Mildred Farley's property, just as the Beau-Mart
representative arrives to survey it, Anne decides to investigate. Can she
uncover the saboteur before someone gets hurt?
Meanwhile, even law-abiding friends and
neighbors are passionately divided on the new business. Wendy Pyle leads a
protest and draws up a petition against Beau-Mart, but when Anne refuses to
sign it, thinking of how the store could help low-income families, Wendy feels
betrayed and refuses to speak to her. Can their friendship survive this rift?”
Series: Book #21 in the “Secrets of the Blue Hilly Library” series.

My
personal Rating- 
I really struggled with this mystery
because there were many new characters introduced and keeping them and their family
straight was a bit difficult. It was interesting to see the different sides to
the idea of a big-box store coming to a small town, but overall I found this
book had a harder time keeping my attention.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
