Kate Marburn had recovered nicely from her husband's duplicitous treatment. He had embezzled from their investment business and left a suicide note but no body was ever found. She was cleared of wrongdoing and procured her dream job as rose gardener on the estate of Sarah Denbigh, a wealthy widow with grasping, grown children, a love of Shaker furniture, and propensity to charity. When Sarah is founddead in her bathroom by Kate during a silent auction fundraiser held in her home, Kate comes under suspicion for the murder. This novel was a most engaging, enjoyable, edge-of-your-seat ride with an unpredictable plot, multiple suspects, and plenty of information on the Shaker lifestyle.
"Some Shaker furniture designers actually believed that their patterns came from heaven and were transmitted to them by angels."
"Work as though you have a thousand years to live but might die tomorrow."
