The Long Shadow of Murder is an amateur sleuth mystery.

Seven children—soon to be eight—and a large farm keeps Will Rees busy, but he still has time for murder. A visitor to Durham, Maine is missing. Rees and Rouge, the tavern owner and constable, find the man’s body in a ravine outside of town with his wallet and his jewelry intact. Then the search is on in Durham and the nearby Shaker community of Zion. When another body is found and then a third, the question is what connects the victims and will lead to a killer.

Bottom line: The Long Shadow of Murder is for you if you like whodunnit mysteries immersed in historical fiction.
