Suzanne and her friend, Grace will be drawn into another murder investigation when Suzanne once again comes under suspicion of committing murder. Suzanne had a disagreement with her friend, the local blacksmith. When he is discovered dead a little later, Suzanne becomes a person of interest in the investigation.
With the police chief dating her mother, Suzanne, really isn't considered a suspect for long but Suzanne can't help but be drawn into finding out who killed James Settle. What she will learn will turn everyone's ideas of who James was upside down.
The small town setting with the long term relationships make this series a winner for me. In a small way, I envy the friendship that Suzanne and Grace share. This series and the relationships of the main character increase my appreciation of the mysteries which are top notch.
