Who'da thunk someone could have pulled off writing an excellent murder mystery set in (of all places) a late 18th century Shaker community in Maine? Well, Eleanor Kuhns managed to do so -- in spades! Shakers were a Christian sect of hard-working, God-fearing, celibates whose grinding daily routine didn't leave much room for fun (but, man, did they make great furniture!). Yet I found this book to be an enjoyable, fast read, well deserving of its awards. I was able to figure out whodunit fairly early on, but getting to the end is more than half the fun of this book. I hope this is the first of a series. Take this with you on a holiday trip to visit Hancock Shaker Village in Western Massachusetts. Enjoy!
