Turning over a new leaf in bucolic Vermont, Stella and Nick Buckley soon discover that country life comes with its own special kind of pleasures-and perils . . . Leaving New York City behind for the rustic farmhouse they bought in rural Vermont, Stella and Nick Buckley discover that small-town life isn't nearly as quiet and peaceful as they might have hoped. No sooner do the two arrive at their new home than they find a dead body in a well on their property, and they're quickly exiled to a primitive campsite when the sheriff seals off the crime scene.
As if no electricity, no running water, and leaf-peeping tourists weren't bad enough, the duo must also contend with an endless variety of quirky and eccentric locals. Quickly realizing that the only way they'll get back into their farmhouse is to solve the murder themselves, the two dig deep into the life of the victim, who'd racked up more than a few enemies. And while they may never be able to shed their city-folk reputation, Stella and Nick just might nab a cunning killer before he can strike again . . . Praise for the Books of Amy Patricia Meade: The first in a new series for Meade features yet another set of bright young detectives . . . -Kirkus Reviews Quaint characters and settings abound in this outing by New Yorker-turned-Vermonter Amy Patricia Meade. -Mystery Scene Meade's debut will strike a chord with fanciers of Dorothy Sayers's Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane. -Publishers Weekly If only Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart were still alive. They would be fabulous in the movie version of Meade's debut Marjorie McClelland mystery . . . Meade's kickoff mystery is a winner. -Booklist Meade successfully segues from her historicals (Black Moonlight) to this snappy yet traditional contemporary. She brings us pitch-perfect dialogue, original characters, and enormous potential for a fun series. -Library Journal
