Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog. I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!
Goodreads: The Lacemaker's Secret by Kathleen Ernst
Blurb: Curator Chloe Ellefson needs distraction from the unsettling family secret she's just learned. It doesn't help that her boyfriend, Roelke McKenna, has been troubled for weeks and won't say why. Chloe hopes a consulting job at Green Bay's Heritage Hill Historical Park, where an old Belgian-American farmhouse is being restored, will be a relaxing escape.
Instead she discovers a body in a century-old bake oven.
Chloe's research suggests that a rare and valuable piece of lace made its way to nearby Door County, Wisconsin, with the earliest Belgian settlers. More importantly, someone is desperate to find it. Inspired by a courageous Belgian woman who survived cholera, famine, and the Great Fire, Chloe must untangle clues to reveal secrets old and new . . . before the killer strikes again.
Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: This has been sitting gathering dust on my NetGalley shelf for ages and it looks really fascinating.
It does look good. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteDoes sound good, love that gathering dust on the NetGalley shelf!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this one but it does sound good.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound interesting and it always feels great to get those old books off your NetGalley shelf.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover. My stepfather was involved in Civil War re-enactments and there were a couple of women who made spindle lace in the sutler section of the authentic encampments. It mesmerising to watch. ☺
