Welcome to Storyton Hall, Virginia, where book lovers travel from near
and far to enjoy the singular comforts of the Agatha Christie Tea Room,
where they can discuss the merits of their favorite authors no matter
how deadly the topic . . .
With her twins, Fitzgerald and Hemingway, back in school, Jane Steward
can finally focus on her work again--managing Storyton Hall, and
breaking ground on the resort's latest attraction: a luxurious, relaxing
spa named in honor of Walt Whitman. But when the earth is dug up to
start laying the spa's foundation, something else comes to the
surface--a collection of unusual bones and the ragged remnants of a very
old book. The attendees of the Rare Book Conference are eager to assist
Jane with this unexpected historical mystery--until a visitor meets an
untimely end in the Henry James Library. As the questions--and
suspects--start stacking up, Jane will have to uncover a killer before
more unhappy endings ensue . . .
"Combines clever clues, a smart and courageous heroine and an
interesting setting in a whodunit that will inspire readers to make
further visits to Storyton Hall."
