She had a book in one hand; a globe-spanning mystery about people who were significantly braver than her taking risks she would never take, and a glass full of iced peppermint tea in the other. There was just enough of a breeze to scare the bugs off, and one of her feet dangled to the ground to keep the hammock rocking gently.  \nIt wasn’t just the day that was perfect, it was... everything. Her initial upset at being shoved out of her aunt’s life as soon as she got back from Europe, had quieted into something more content. Her job at the local credit union, though not as exciting or fun as her job atthe novelty store, was steady and simple, and she liked her coworkers. The room she was renting at Janet’s house was comfortable, and it had been nice getting to know the older woman better. She didn’t want to rent a room forever, but she wouldn’t have to; Mabel, one of her new coworkers, had a friend in real estate who had told her about an apartment over one of the storefronts in town that would be available to rent soon. Bridget fully intended to apply for it; she would be close enough to the credit union that she would be able to walk to work, something she liked the thought of.  \nEven her love life was going well; she had spent the morning with her boyfriend, Lachlan Miller, helping him bottle feed a new group of baby goats that a local farmer had loaned him for his petting zoo. They were the most adorable things she had ever seen,  \nand she didn’t even mind that she smelled like a barnyard when she left.  \nShe knew the perfect summer days wouldn’t last. They never did; before long, Michigan would be back to being freezing cold, with potholes big enough to eat her car and weather more unpredictable than her aunt Agnes was. But for now, she was going to enjoy every second of it.  \nShe turned a page in her book. The team the story was centered on, an eclectic mix of retired military, civilians, and scientists, were descending into the catacombs in Paris to search for the next clue to the location of some ancient treasure they were looking for. It sounded like quite the adventure. It sounded like something her aunt would do. Bridget, however, was perfectly content to read about it. She’d had enough adventure of her own lately, thank you very much.  \nThe sound of birds squabbling made her look over—a blue jay had tried to bully two grackles off of Janet’s bird feeder but turned tail and fled when a mob of the black birds flew over to defend their companions. Bridget, who had spent most of her adult life living in apartments, was enam","cbCaivaLLNQ5A5MF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivaLLNQ5A5MF","pdf",602903,69,"English","en",105,"# Chapter 1\n## Chapter 2\n## Chapter 3\n## Chapter 4\n## Chapter 5\n## Chapter 6\n## Chapter 7\n## Chapter 8\n## Chapter 9\n## Chapter 10\n## Chapter 11\n## Chapter 12\n## Chapter 13\n## Epilogue\n# Also by Patti Benning\n# Author’s Note","[{\"question\":\"Where does the story begin?\",\"answer\":\"The opening chapter takes place in small-town Michigan, with Bridget relaxing in a hammock under a giant oak tree.\"},{\"question\":\"Who unexpectedly shows up at Bridget’s backyard?\",\"answer\":\"Rigel Wells, her aunt’s new mysterious husband, appears in the backyard and seems worried.\"},{\"question\":\"What is Bridget’s situation before the intruder arrives?\",\"answer\":\"Bridget is settled into her aunt’s circle again, enjoys her job and coworkers, and has been temporarily at peace despite past disagreements.\"}]","FAMILY FIASCO - NIGHTSMITH NOVELTIES COZY MYSTERIES - BOOK 12 - PATTI BENNING | PDF",1785657996,106,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"family-fiasco-nightsmith-novelties-cozy-mysteries-book-12-patti-benning","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,53,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,50],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/family-fiasco-nightsmith-novelties-cozy-mysteries-book-12-patti-benning/116287/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":40,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-02",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Where does the story begin?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"The opening chapter takes place in small-town Michigan, with Bridget relaxing in a hammock under a giant oak tree.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"Who unexpectedly shows up at Bridget’s backyard?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Rigel Wells, her aunt’s new mysterious husband, appears in the backyard and seems worried.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What is Bridget’s situation before the intruder arrives?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"Bridget is settled into her aunt’s circle again, enjoys her job and coworkers, and has been temporarily at peace despite past disagreements.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
