HTML: Will Rees feels at home. It's been a long time since he last felt this way??not since before his wife died more than five years ago and he took to the road as a traveling weaver. Now Rees is back on his farm, living with his teenaged son, David, and his housekeeper, Lydia??whose presence contributes more towards his happiness than he's ready to admit. But his domestic bliss is shattered the morning a visitor brings news of an old friend's murder. Nate Bowditch and Rees hadn't spoken in many long years, but as children they were closer than brothers, and Rees feels his loss acutely. Asked to look into the circumstances surrounding Nate's death, Rees simply can't refuse. At the Bowditch farmstead, Rees quickly discovers that everyone??from Nate's frosty wife to his missing son to the shy serving girl??is hiding something. But are any of them actually capable of murder? Or does the answer lie elsewhere, behind stones no one even knew needed un-turning? Death of a Dyer once again proves Eleanor Kuhns' remarkable ability to spin a captivating story and capture the light and darker sides of human nature on th Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Set in 1796, Kuhns has done her research as this book is in keeping with the times.
Will Rees, a weaver by choice, a farmer by trade, and a widower who sets about solving crimes, centers his days on the murder of his childhood friend, Nate Bowditch. Rees hadn’t spoken with Nate for many years, since they were children themselves, but he still is affected deeply by Nate’s death. So when his assistance is requested to find out what happened to Nate, he’s unable to say no.
While trying to keep peace at his home with his son David and his housekeeper (or is she?) Lydia, Rees hunts down clues and questions those who he suspects to be involved in Nate’s murder. He begins at Nate’s farm and discovers that everything is not what it seems. Nate’s wife Molly is cold, the help is secretive, and Nate’s son Richard is missing. Richard ran after being accused of killing his father. It’s now Rees’s job to either prove Richard innocent or show his guilt.
Secrets kept for years are brought to light and people close to Nate and Rees are stunned by what is revealed. This is a very well-written and entertaining historical novel.
