The small-town charm of Jan Karon meets the time-bending crime solving of Kate Atkinson in this gripping, richly humorous suspense novel.

Jordan Marsh left L.A. for the quaint Pacific Northwest town of Port Chatham in pursuit of some much-needed R&R. As the prime suspect in her cheating husband’s murder, she was hoping to immerse herself in the restoration of the charming Victorian she just bought—and put all talk of homicide investigations behind her. But as she soon discovers, the coldest of cases cry out to be solved too. For this old house comes fully furnished—with two garrulous ghosts, who have a century-old murder of their own they’d like her to look into. Now if Jordan can just keep the L.A. police at bay, and sort through a suspect list of shady wharfside characters circa 1890, she might just clear a wrongly accused man’s name—and her own.

Bantam Books will publish the second in the Port Chatham Mystery Series in 2010
