The Broken Elements

About this book

When burned-out project manager Maris Alvarez retreats to her hometown of Linden Hollow to open a Repair Café, she seeks a quiet life of mending broken things alongside an eclectic crew of volunteers. The peace is shattered when the town treasurer is found dead in the café's donation bay just before a critical fundraiser. Deemed an accident by the police, Maris's sharp eye for systems tells her otherwise. Using her skills to trace the provenance of broken objects left at the café, Maris, with the help of her found family—Dee, Owen, and Raina—uncovers a tangled web of small-town debts, hidden renovations, and secrets tied to a missing ledger. As the threat to the café grows, Maris must piece together the clues to save her new sanctuary and catch a killer before they strike again.
