Описание книги

As Stella Wright’s Nantucket candle store thrives, her knack for solving mysteries burns equally bright—especially when a Halloween haunted house uncovers evidence of a centuries-old murder . . .  When Stella’s friend inherits a creaky, abandoned home in Nantucket, she knows it’s the perfect setting for the town’s annual Halloween fundraiser. A deserted, boarded-up building on the property—once used as a candle-making shop—adds to the creepy ambiance. But as Stella explores the shack’s dilapidated walls, she discovers a terrible secret: the skeleton of a Quaker woman, wrapped in blood-soaked clothing and hidden deep within a stone hearth . . . While police investigate, Stella wastes no time asking for help from friends with long ties to Nantucket’s intricate history. The key to the murder may lie within a scorching 18th century love triangle that pit two best friends against one another over a dubious man. But before the case is solved, another life will be claimed—leaving Stella to wonder who in Nantucket is friend, and who is foe . . . Praise for Murder’s No Votive Confidence “A charming mystery with believable, likeable characters. Check it out.” —Suspense Magazine

When I realized it wouldn’t budge, I searched the items strewn about the floor and picked up the spade. Carefully, I used it as a lever to pry the wood ever so slowly from the wall. Before I knew it, I was building up a sweat, but I didn’t mind. At one point, my phone pinged. I knew it was probably Shelly, wondering where I was, but I’ll admit I couldn’t stop. Although we’d steered clear of The Shack, I was seduced by it now that I was inside. I felt like I had crossed from one world and back into another.

Finally, the wood came free. I slowly lowered it to the floor. I’m respectably strong, but the sign was long and wobbled in my arms like a seesaw. Once I’d laid it on the ground, I needed to stand up to make sure my limbs were still intact. It was a good thing I did because a stone fell from the newly exposed wall, missing my head by a couple of inches. Another followed. Then another. I looked above the mantel and caught another. They loosened like dominos. I removed a couple more before they could fly into the room on their own.
