The Body in the Bookcase
Minister's wife, mother of two and caterer, Faith Fairchild has her hands full preparing for a grand society wedding in the quiet little town of Aleford, Massachusetts. Eager for a break from the endless demands of the spoiled bride-to-be, Faith looks forward to making some parish calls until she discovers the body of elderly Sarah Winslow. The house has been ransacked, and a devastated Faith is determined to find the burglars responsible for dear Sarah's death...a search intensified when Faith's own home is burglarized next.
Faith's investigation takes her far from her charming town and onto a dangerous path of thievery and corruption that has tainted the ever popular New England antique business. And with each discovery of her own precious heirlooms, Faith finds herself drawing ever nearer to a killer without realizing just how close she is...until it's almost too late.
