A mystery that explores the themes of trust, aging, and justice. It is a heartwarming tale of the unlikely friendship between a young college student and an elderly resident, as they work together to uncover the truth, and solve a decades-old murder.

Amira Cooper never expected a part-time job at a nursing home to turn into a thrilling mystery, but that's exactly what happens when she meets resident Claire Stewart. As Amira gets to know Claire, she uncovers a decades-old murder that nobody believed happened. Determined to bring justice for Claire, Amira delves into the past and must confront her own biases and assumptions about aging and the elderly.

Amira must navigate through the complexities of the present while uncovering the truth about the past. But as she gets closer to the truth, she faces challenges both personally and professionally. With her studies, job, and investigation all competing for her time, Amira must juggle it all to solve the mystery and bring closure for Claire.

Novella, multi-generational, diverse, young adult, clean, cozy, college town.

What people are saying

It’s nice to find a new read and heroine and mystery that I can root for. I think I found it in the new Barbara Howard’s The Clover City Files Book series. The Taste of Rain is a great story with a working-class heroine, Amira, surrounded by a diverse set of characters. A good read.

— Jilly

A likable heroine who tries to juggle her own complicated life with helping an older woman. Nice intergenerational dynamic as Amira becomes more and more attached to Claire. I received an ARC of this book.
