When vintage cookware and cookbook collector Jaymie Leighton spies an original 1920s Hoosier brand kitchen cabinet at an estate auction, it's love at first sight. Despite the protests of her sister that the 19th-century yellow-brick house they share in Michigan is already too cluttered with Jaymie's "junk," she successfully outbids the other buyers and triumphantly takes home her Hoosier.

But that night on the summer porch where they've left the Hoosier to be cleaned up, a man is murdered, struck on the head with the steel meat grinder that is part of the cabinet. Who is this stranger—and what was he doing on their porch? Does his death have anything to do with the Hoosier?

As the police struggle to determine the man's identity, Jaymie can't help doing a little digging on her own, accompanied by her three-legged Yorkie Poo, Hopalong. But in her bid to uncover the truth about the hidden secrets of the Hoosier, Jaymie may be the one who ends up going, going . . . gone.

      Emily Woo Zeller brings sensitivity and depth to the character of Jaymie Leighton, antique collector and budding cookbook writer. In this debut novel in the Vintage Kitchen series, Jaymie finds a new love at an estate sale. But winning the bid on the classic Hoosier kitchen cabinet places her in the middle of a murder scene. Zeller's high, soft voice lends itself to Jaymie's self-consciousness about her age and romantic history, as well as her initial trepidation toward criminal investigation. However, as Jaymie's confidence in her instincts grows, Zeller's voice sheds some hesitancy and deepens. Though Jaymie is at the center, many characters move in and out of the story, and Zeller does well keeping them distinguished, particularly other female characters.
