Description
Beacon Hill Chronicles: Volume 4 - Return to Boston's Beacon Hill where the Thorndike mansion--the scene of imprisonment, murder, and hauntings--has been sold. Mattie and Stan are happy in their Cape Cod home. Viv and Joe have a new little daughter and their life in Boston's North End is good. Joe has a publishing contract to write a series of books on famous Boston crimes. Viv is actively involved in the city's art world. For awhile everything is bliss. But as Joe gets caught up in researching the 19th century murder of a prominent Beacon Hill physician, mansions on the Hill are being broken into and people die mystriously. At the opening of a posh new gallery, Viv and Joe meet the owner who seems to know more than anyone about a beautiful local artist who made scandalous paintings that shocked the Brahmins, but who died under mysterious circumstances. Then there is the new owner of GrammyLou's townhouse, an art dealer from Paris. Ramin Aria is devastatingly handsome, extremely wealthy, and completely mesmerized by Viv. With the help of the old historian, Doctor Anteus Roosevelt Jones, the feisty knitting shop owner, Calista Defarge, and defrocked monk, Brother Maksim Gromeyko, Viv and Joe get caught up in mysteries from long ago when they discover the crazy old lady's secret. Bonus Material: The book contains a gallery of images and descriptions of locations mentioned in the story.
