I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.
Kathryn – curator in a library, visits the Berkshires over the
weekends to spend time with Earl, her significant other, and her friends, Betty
and Charlotte.
Betty – thinks life is like a spy novel.
Charlotte – secrets abound!
Paula and her cohort Rudy.
Wally – the lawyer.
Steve – Charlotte’s renter and his dog, Solly.
Todd – badly deformed after the auto accident that claimed the
life of Izzy, his then fiancée.
While going on a hike in Wolf Bog a body is discovered, later
identified to be Denny who disappeared over 40 years ago. A box of photos
surfaces in Betty’s home that she hands over to Kathryn who begins to organize
them and identify the faces in the pictures. The more questions she asks about
who and why, the more stonewalled she becomes. Not to mention the fact that
Earl is pressuring her into reuniting with her own mother.
Short chapters. Excellent pace.
This is the first book by Ms. Wheeler I have read and really
enjoyed her writing style, the red herrings she dropped along the way, and the
conclusion to the whodunnit was especially surprising. Wasn’t expecting that
one! I believe this is book three in Ms. Wheeler’s Berkshire Hilltown Mystery
series, with Shuntoll Road and Rattlesnake Hill being the first two. While this
is a series, they can certainly be read as standalones.

Thanks for the review! This does sound like a really good book to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words about Wolf Bog, Melissa. I'm delighted that you enjoyed my writing style, the red herrings I dropped, and also that the conclusion came as a surprise to you, which, of course, was exactly what I wanted. Thanks again!
