Set in 1897 Pennsylvania, Fallen From Grace jumps right into the action-packed story. Sheriff Sylvester Tilghman enjoys his laid-back career in Arahpot. His routine is disrupted by the murder of a recent arrival to the small town. Much of his investigation centers around a house of ill repute. He befriends the ladies, but his affection is securely set on Lydia, who is independent, employed as a shopkeeper, and taking her sweet time answering his repeated requests for her hand in marriage. As the story raced to a conclusion, I wondered how Lindermuth would tie up all the loose ends. The mystery does come to a satisfying end. I enjoyed this entertaining historical mystery.

As the 19th century winds to a close, Sheriff Sylvester Tilghman of the small Pennsylvania town of Arahpot ponders his biggest problems: finding a new deputy and convincing his true love, Lydia, to marry him. But an early autumn day finds Arahpot's usual tranquility shaken when a stranger is fatally stabbed. Upon seeing the victim, Tilghman recalls witnessing a strained encounter between him and Valentine Deibert, an obese man with a wife half his age who had recently moved to Arahpot. The sheriff questions Deibert who denies knowing the victim. Tilgman is unconvinced, but lacks a connection until the widow arrives in Arahpot. Suddenly Sylvester is plunged into investigating two murders. As he works through an abundance of motivated suspects, Tilghman finds himself in danger. And worse -- Lydia is pushing her obnoxious cousin as a candidate for deputy. About the author: A retired newspaper editor, J. R. Lindermuth lives and writes in central Pennsylvania. Since his retirement he has served as librarian of his county historical society where he assists patrons with research and genealogy.
