Description
A small town in western Massachusetts is rocked by the double homicide of a local grocer and his wife. Upstanding members of the community, active in their church and in their town council, the victims are the last people anyone would pick as a target for murder. But someone has singled them out--and the only clue is the peculiar murder weapon. With her unorthodox thinking readers have come to know and love, sleuthing journalist Gracie Barufaldi decides to try and solve the puzzling murder. And all the while she's balancing her relationship with Jack, the County Detective, and her new friendship with polished Boston lawyer Ben Holmes. The murderer is uncovered, and compassion and a keen understanding of the psychotic mind come into play to bring the case to a satisfying- if sad- conclusion.
