Read A Review:

Katherine Kale has purchased the elegant blue Victorian on Walnut Street in Maple Creek, Michigan. She will soon be teaching in a local school. Not long after moving in, strange things start happening.

Not long after meeting her, Cora Valentine is poisoned at the annual Apple Fair, and Katherine is almost poisoned as well. Maybe Maple Creek isn’t the perfect town after all.

Katherine finds a damaged antique cameo while planting chrysanthemums in her backyard. Accidents start happening to Katherine. Garth, her new friend and possible love interest, always seems to show up to help out at just the right time. Could he be involved? Then there is Lieutenant Dalton Gray of the local police department.

Does everything relate to Cora’s death, or is this something larger than that? Katherine is determined to find out. But can she do it without putting herself at peril?

I enjoyed this book. The twists in the plot kept me wondering who did it and why. I liked Katherine and thought she was a determined woman, but the author kept a good balance with the investigation and the love interest. I highly recommend this book.
