On a bright, spring afternoon the body of George Wright, a childhood friend of criminal consultant Edmund DeCleryk, is discovered at a cemetery where casualties of the War of 1812 are buried. After conducting an autopsy, the medical examiner determines that George has been murdered, the cause of death by poisoning. Lighthouse Cove Police Chief Carrie Ramos hires Ed to investigate, with his spunky wife, Annie assisting him.

Suspects include a physician’s assistant, college student and a family member, among others; however, George’s demise may be the result of secrets that have surfaced from the grave. You’ll discover what Ed found on the beach in Murder in the Museum and how that, and an artifact dating back to the early 1800s, are linked to this untimely death.

Annie loves to cook, and at the end of the book she shares recipes for meals she prepared for friends and loved ones.

RECIPE

Ed and Annie DeCleryk enjoy entertaining in their backyard, which faces Lake Ontario. Following is a recipe Annie created for one of their picnics:

Lemon Tart with Blueberries and Raspberries-Serves 8-10

1 pie shell (can make from scratch or use store-bought) for a 9-inch pie plate

1 ½ jars lemon curd

1 pint each, blueberries and raspberries

Cook the pie shell according to directions. Cool completely. Spoon lemon curd into a pie shell to cover the bottom completely. Sprinkle blueberries and raspberries on top of lemon curd (or use one of the fruits). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
