    About this ebook

    Antique print dealer Maggie Summer’s Maine vacation is unexpectedly interrupted when she finds herself the heir to four generations of family secrets involving unrequited love, jealousy, art-and murder.
    In the summer of 1890, two young women posed for artist Winslow Homer on the coast of Maine. What happened that summer, the secrets the women kept, and the lies they told, changed their families forever. Now, more than a hundred years later, one of their descendants has been murdered, leaving to antique print dealer Maggie Summer the family papers that may finally reveal the truth. Maggie's vision of a relaxing vacation in Maine -- antiquing with beau Will Brewer and visiting his Aunt Nettie -- turns into a murder investigation. Maggie must discover which of the family myths are based on reality, before someone she cares about becomes the next victim.

      This is the fifth book in the mystery series by this author, and I thought her writing has improved over the course of the series. There are some mild spoilers here if you haven't read the earlier books, but nothing major (I'd forgotten what she was talking about in that regard, to be honest). The main thing you'd miss if you read this as a stand-alone would be some background on the characters.
