The Last Backup

✨ Welcome to Maplewood, MA: Where small-town charm meets big-time secrets. ✨

When **Quinn Hartley** inherits her estranged uncle's dusty arcade and repair shop, *Retro Reset*, she just wants to catalog the classic consoles and sell up fast. Fourteen years away from the painful memories of her small New England hometown was clearly not enough to heal old wounds.

But when a renowned historian, Neil Carmichael, is murdered behind the Java Junction-a man whose venomous new book promised to expose all of Maplewood's darkest secrets-Quinn is reluctantly pulled into the investigation.

The Problem: The chief suspect? Quinn herself. The vintage screwdriver planted next to the victim has her initials, and the only person standing up for her is Ethan Cole, the handsome, awkward police officer from her past who she tried desperately to avoid.

The Clue: Her only lead is a cryptic note about a missing laptop and a recent backup. Using her tech-whiz brain and "mental filing cabinet" system, Quinn dives into the victim's corrupted files. What she finds is a dangerous web of secrets that connects every family in town-including her own-to centuries of theft, blackmail, and hidden bloodlines.

To clear her name and protect the fragile community she never intended to rejoin, Quinn must debug the past before the real killer decides **The Last Backup** needs to be permanent.

Perfect for fans of small-town cozies, nostalgic tech-savvy heroines, and a hint of sweet, awkward romance. Start the Quinn Hartley Cozy Mystery series today!
