Murder Set in Stone | Thalia

A stone by any other name... Can lead to murder. Rosemary Grey, who's just getting settled into the charming town of Paperwick, Connecticut, is looking forward to the holiday season. She'll be moving into her snug cottage at Jack and Charlie's farm-so she'll have her best friends right next door, and she's loving her new job as a history professor at Paperwick University, home of the Fighting Trout. The fact that she sees the shy Professor Seth McGuire, from the anthropology department, on campus, might have a little something to do with the smile on her face and the spring in her step. But Rosemary soon discovers that the cozy, tucked-away village, has a longstanding mystery in its midst. Thirty-five years ago, what appeared to be a rune-covered megalithic stone was discovered. There were those who believed the runes scattered across the stone were created by the indigenous peoples who'd inhabited the area-but some believed the runes were Norse in origin, lending credibility to the idea that Vikings had once walked the land. None of the theories about the stone could be proved, however, because it went missing almost as mysteriously as it had appeared. Searches proved fruitless and no one could imagine who could possibly slip away with a two hundred fifty-pound slab of granite. Nevertheless, the legend of Bjørn the Lost Viking was born, along with an annual festival that commemorates the stone, the first snow of the winter, and Norse culture. When a twist of fate leads to the discovery of the fabled missing runestone-and a body is found lying next to it-Rosemary and friends will have to separate legend and myth from fact and solve the crime. Seth is targeted as one of the prime suspects, so there's no time to waste!You'll want to curl up with a warm, spicy mug of Mrs. Potter's Glogg and a warm blanket to enjoy this exciting cozy holiday adventure!
