About this listen
Star City is known for its slopes and its powder. But nestled in the valley of this ski resort town is a side street full of shops that specialize in the simple charms of earlier eras. One of those shops is the Rescued Word, where Chester Henry and his adult granddaughter Clare lovingly repair old typewriters and restore old books. Who ever thought their quaint store would hold the key to some modern-day trouble?
When a stranger to town demands they turn over an antique Underwood typewriter they're repairing for a customer, Clare fears she may need to be rescued. A call to the police scares the man off, but later Clare finds his dead body in the back alley. What about a dusty old typewriter could possibly be worth killing for?

Bad grammar and terrible voice
For a book about books it’s such a shame the language is so bad. Every conversation was ‘she said he said’ never anything else. The voice was robotic. So much so that the character names sounded different everytime. Is it Jody or Judy? Seth or Zed?

Great Plot
A little slow to start but well worth persevering. A cast of very diverse characters, an interesting little town and a unique plot. A really good story.

A lovely cosy mystery with likeable characters
A comfortable cosy mystery perfect for a quiet night in. There's enough tension and mystery to make the story interesting and yet nothing to shock the sensitive reader. I also LOVE the mystery around the typewriters.
