Newlywed Ginny Mackenzie fully intended to give up murder, as did the serial killer who was about to cross her path. Neither would succeed.

When one of the wedding presents is identified as a murder weapon, it's clear that someone wants Ginny to investigate. Reluctantly, Ginny agrees to look into the situation. The clues lead her to Senator Maury Patterson, a prodigal son returning to Loch Lonach, who has decided it is his destiny to rule. To do that, he must destroy the culture that has held the Homestead together for almost two hundred years. He knows how. He’s done it before.

With Angus struggling to validate the founding documents of the Homestead, Ginny digging up dead ancestors for a dying woman, the community mounting a production of “The Scottish Play” amid rioting and arson, the honeymoon is over for Jim, Ginny, and the other denizens of the Loch Lonach Homestead.

A CozyPlus mystery for fans of Agatha Christie, Josephine Tey, Dorothy Sayers, and Ellis Peters.
