Book Description:
A Little Latitude is the fourth book in the Gift Shop Mysteries series.
When an antique map appears on the doorstep at Heavenly Presents, Sarah Morgan wonders if it’s a hoax. Or could it really lead to a rumored treasure hidden near a lakeshore cottage? The remote building was once used to store ice cut from the lake to provide residents with refrigeration during the hot summer months. But local folklore claims that it was also used for smuggling in the nineteenth century. Sarah finds herself teaming up with Flint Carroway, her handsome forest
ranger friend, to learn who left the map for Sarah and, of course, if the treasure rumors are true. But will someone with nefarious motives beat them to where X marks the spot?
Meanwhile, Sarah is invited to speak at a prestigious event hosted by her alma mater. She feels undeserving of the honor and is hesitant to accept for fear of speaking in front of a crowd. Can Sarah give herself a little latitude and prove that she is exactly where she belongs?

My Thoughts: Wonderful Story
A Little Latitude is a cozy mystery with elements of romance, faith, and a connection to the past that blend together flawlessly into an enjoyable and intriguing story. Sarah and Flint are at the forefront, but all the characters contribute and add to the story, keeping me guessing throughout. Add to that the wonderful setting and the fascinating details of what it takes to be a history detective, and you have a wonderful story that I highly recommend.
