Description
Annalee Wyatt is looking forward to a quiet, solitary week in the woods. Just her, a couple of friendly dogs, and a well-stocked wine cellar. What could possibly go wrong? The offer to stay in a cozy 1850s cabin sounds perfect, even if winter in Louisiana means there won't be a blanket of snow. All Annalee needs to do in return is make an appraisal of a deceased artist's jewelry and antiques. As an added bonus, she'll have some strategic time away from the easy-going boyfriend who's gotten too complacent about their relationship.From the minute of her arrival, though, the historic house has more in store for her than antique jewelry and Cabernet. As it reveals its secrets, beginning with a never-ending supply of gold coins, the remote property becomes a magnet for a cast of characters ranging from pretty darn charming to obnoxiously oddball. She views all with her usual suspicion, which kicks into overdrive when she realizes each wants something he believes is hidden at the old homestead. Who can she trust when one of her visitors turns up dead? Thank goodness for the two stalwart hounds and her old friend Tennie. A benevolent spirit from the past is just welcome lagniappe.
