Publisher's Synopsis
Lynne Penfield grew up in Blue Hill, Maine and loves everything about it, even winter, When her beloved Gran leaves her Wingding Island just off the mainland, no one expects her to choose to live there year round as her grandmother had done -despite strong disapproval from the family. Lynne laughs at those who tag her with the label Wingding Hermit. One winter turned into five years once Lynne chose not to use her degree in archeology doing field work, but instead to write fiction with strong archeological themes. Life is good until one August morning she discovered her thriving tomato patch had been demolished in the night. Thus begins a handful of mysteries, both ancient and current. When the new police chief, Jeff Westerly, shows up to investigate the "tomato incident" a whole new dimension is added to Lynne's life. Murder, mystery, ancient secrets, strange artifacts, an underground cavern with a mysterious mosaic wall, renegade Methodists, old bones, and a romance tally up to fun, intrigue, and a great glimpse of Mid-coast Maine.
