The second book in the Victorian Village Mystery series from
New York Times bestselling author Sheila
Connolly!
After fifteen years away, Kate Hamilton
never expected to end up back in her hometown of Asheboro,
Maryland full time. And she definitely didn't expect to be
leading the charge of recreating the town as a Victorian
village and tourist attraction. But as unexpected as the
circumstances are, Kate is ready to tackle them.
The
town, on the other hand, is going to take some convincing.
Ever since Henry Barton's shovel factory closed down, it's
started to seem like there are more tumbleweeds than
tourists rolling down Main Street. Kate's ideas are good,
but expensive—and her friends and neighbors are worried that
finding the money for them would push the town even further
into debt.
Luckily, Kate and the handsome historian
Joshua Wainwright are two very determined people who may
have come up with a solution. The Barton mansion, meant to
be the centerpiece of the Victorian village, has proven to
be a veritable goldmine of documents about the town's
nineteenth-century history, and Kate is convinced the papers
hide something of value. But when a dead body turns up in
the town library—mere hours before the documents were meant
to arrive there themselves—Kate begins to worry that the
papers spell danger instead of diamonds. It seems that
someone doesn't want these forgotten secrets coming to
light, and they'll do whatever it takes to keep Kate quiet…
