Between the three of them, we have a compelling, electric mystery that takes us into the heart, the secrets, and the deadly menace to an insular community – and does so with fire and compassion … her work is more relevant than ever. She is not to be missed. –Katherine V. Forrest, Award-winning author, The Kate Delafield Mysteries
