She is befriended by spunky Tilda MacArdan and the mysteriously angelic Morwenna Goss, known as the “story keeper” of the old Scottish cemetery. A gossiping trio of elderly women may remember the first murder accurately, or merely be keeping ugly rumors alive. Did the artist who painted the portrait of the beautiful murder victim love her – or kill her? The handsome grandson of the prime suspect could be Addie’s new beau, or her most dangerous foe. As the cold case heats up, Addie learns that even in a quiet town things – and people - are never quite as they appear.** Views: 11
