Publisher's summary

Introducing spirited female sleuth Elizabeth Fairchild in the first of the brilliant new Oak Park village mystery series.

June, 1925. Having been widowed in the First World War, Elizabeth Fairchild lives a quiet life at the home of her wealthy parents in genteel Oak Park, Illinois.

Although she does her best to avoid emotional entanglements, determined never to be hurt again, Elizabeth forms a close friendship with gentle Mr. Anthony, who owns the local antiques store.

But tragedy strikes when Mr. Anthony is found stabbed to death in the alley behind his shop. Why would anyone murder a mild-mannered antiques dealer who simply loved beautiful things? A robbery gone wrong? A gangland execution?

Or could it have something to do with the mysterious customer who bought a gold pocket watch from Mr. Anthony on the day he died?

When one of her father’s oldest friends is accused of the crime, Elizabeth determines to expose the real killer. But her investigations soon attract unwelcome attention. With gangsters moving into the neighborhood from nearby Chicago, Oak Park is no longer the safe haven it once was. Could Elizabeth be seriously out of her depth?

Author’s political agenda overshadows story

The political agenda overshadows story by being repeated every other sentence. I was hoping to hear a good story to get away from the political atmosphere that is everywhere.
