Murder in the Meadow: Rosemary Grey Cozy Mysteries, Book One

Sometimes digging up the past… Can be murder. Back home after a successful European lecture tour, historian Rosemary Grey is looking forward to relaxing and enjoying two blissful weeks with her best friend, Jack, and his new husband Charlie. Their cozy New England farmhouse in Paperwick, the quaint village they call home is an added bonus, and Rosemary can’t wait for the annual Paperwick Founders Day Festival—a beloved local event. One of the highlights of this year’s festival will be a spooky new tradition – the first ever village cemetery crawl, led by Jack and Rosemary. The cheeky duo will “bring a few of the village founders’ spirits back to life,” which thrills Rosemary to no end. There’s nothing the dedicated historian loves more than digging into local lore to make colorful histories come alive. The village’s most dramatic historical character—a woman who’d been accused of witchcraft in 1668 and who is still buried in the meadow that adjoins the cemetery—will be highlighted in the grand finale. Rosemary digs deeply into Paperwick’s past and the more that she discovers about the so-called witch, the more she is drawn into investigating a 350-year-old mystery. When a murder actually takes place in the present time, Rosie and her friends are astonished to find that clues in the past point to answers in the present. Autumn leaves are falling, there's a hint of romance in the air, and there's a caramel apple pie in the oven (recipe included!), so curl up with a hot cup of tea and enjoy a cozy visit to mysterious New England!
