博客來Louise Penfold Mystery - Book 1 - Under new cover!
A condolence card presages death. Behind fresh paint, old secrets linger.
When Canadian freelance editor Louise Penfold trades city life for the quiet charm of a picture-perfect village, she expects murder lurking on manuscript pages, not striking close to home.
After a bitter divorce, Louise craves innocent pleasures. Peace and quiet in company of her loyal dog, village gossip at the charming café, meeting the neighbors.
Tranquility proves elusive when an eerie sympathy card appears in her mailbox-followed by a mysterious late-night visitor and unsettling news about the previous owner of her house. Once the police arrive at the local nursing home where Louise volunteers, it becomes all too clear: someone in town is hiding a deadly secret.
With a practiced eye from years of cold-case research, Louise sets out to uncover the truth. But solving a murder in a village full of secrets is no simple edit-and someone might be willing to kill again to keep the past buried.
Can Louise untangle the mystery before her fresh start proves her final chapter?
Perfect for fans of classic whodunit mysteries with sharp-witted heroines, village intrigue, and secrets worth killing for.
