November in the Berkshires is a time of retreat—when shadows stretch longer and tourists return to their homes. So when Kathryn Stinson, a Boston photo archivist, arrives in New Nottingham to investigate a family mystery, the locals eye her with suspicion.
What begins as a search for the identity of a mysterious woman in an old photograph unearths a more recent mystery: the unsolved murder of Diana Farley, a woman who once lived in the house Kathryn now rents. Was Diana killed by her husband in a bitter fight over divorce, or by her lover, the charming but volatile Earl Barker?
Kathryn’s investigation takes a dangerous turn when her feelings for Earl deepen. Caught between passion and doubt, can she uncover the truth before history repeats itself?
An atmospheric mystery set in rural New England, RATTLESNAKE HILL is the first book in the Berkshire Hilltown Mysteries series by Leslie Wheeler.
