A spooky house, a gorgeous Maine setting, and some fascinating antique prints provide the perfect ingredients for a riveting new mystery in the series that the New York Times says “beckons like a weekend in the country.”
Antique-print dealer Maggie Summer has accepted an invitation to visit her old college friend, Amy, and Amy’s husband Drew, who have just moved to an eighteenth-century house on the coast of Maine, a house that harbors many secrets.
Maggie plans to relax, attend auctions, and shop for antique prints. But upon her arrival, she finds the usually sensible Amy fearful and skittish and her house and marriage in chaos. Who is the baby Amy hears crying in the night, and why do she and Drew want so desperately to have a child of their own? Who is behind the fires and bizarre accidents in their new home? Why are their neighbors so angry? And, perhaps most important, what is the relationship between Drew and Crystal, the attractive teenager who is helping them unpack and settle in?
Then Maggie runs into her new antiques show-circuit friend and possible romantic interest, Will Brewer, who has family connections to the house. He may be able to provide some answers—if Maggie can trust him. And when disaster strikes, will Maggie’s prints hold a clue to this house’s terrible secrets?
This was a really good book. The descriptions of the prints, coast of Maine and the house were really great. The story line kept me guessing till the end. I can't wait to read the sequel.
