Marry In Haste
Marry In Haste
An Endurance Mystery
Grace Kimball, retired teacher, is writing for the Endurance Register and dating its editor, Jeff Maitlin. When he buys a Victorian mansion, Lockwood House, and borrows money from the bank, Jeff sets off a chain of events that puts Grace in danger. Conrad Folger, bank president, is murdered, and his wife, Emily, becomes the prime suspect. While TJ Sweeney, Grace’s friend and Endurance police detective, investigates, Grace also sets out to prove her former student
innocent.
Who else had a motive to kill Conrad Folger? TJ Sweeney investigates possible suspects: spurned lovers, unhappy bank clients, and even family members.
Grace and Jeff discover a diary from 1893 in Lockwood House. Written by a naïve 17-year-old, it tells Olivia Havelock’s bittersweet story. She marries a powerful Endurance judge, and what begins with joy quickly turns to terror.
As Grace reads the diary, she sees parallels to the life of Emily Folger. Can the lessons from the past help Grace clear Emily’s name? And can she do it in time?
