EMINENT DOMAIN is the second in the Mitzy Neuhaus Mysteries, Cozy Christian Collection) and continues the story started in FORECLOSED.  Mitzy has taken ownership of the old house where she and her friends found jewels that were then returned to Russia.  As she and Alonzo work to strip the house and turn it into an Inn and a job for Alonzo's sister, Mitzy finds some papers with names and information, but nothing seemingly of value.  But the FBI wants all the furniture and wants to tear the Inn apart in search for, well, something.  Mitzy doesn't want to give up the lists - apparently of immigrants and their sponsors from 50 years ago - for fear it will cause problems for them.  She eventually gives up and turns over the furniture and some other things, but holds onto one box.  In the meantime, some friends of the Russian mafia are also looking for something.  One of the goons is supposed to kidnap Mitzy, but ends up with Ben.  What is it that the FBI and the mafia both want?  Is there something in these papers that Mitzy is missing?  Will they be able to open the Inn?  This is a good clean cozy mystery for a relaxing read at the beach or by the pool, but I would recommend reading them in order.
