The tulips are bright, the secrets are deep, and the crimes are personal. Gabby Jacobs never planned to start over in a Dutch-themed town full of windmills, tulips, and suspiciously cheerful neighbors. But when her aging father's health declines, she trades her empty nest for Delft Valley's cobbled streets and clogs. She expects adjustment. She doesn't expect a murder. When a sharp-tongued local woman is found dead just days before the town's beloved Tulip Festival, Gabby is shocked to discover her father's whereabouts during the crime are ... murky at best. The victim had no shortage of enemies, but the closer Gabby looks, the more she fears the trail could lead right back to her family. Charming, clever, and filled with small-town intrigue, Life or Delft is the first in a warm and witty mystery series perfect for fans of second-act sleuths and secrets hidden in plain sight.
