Callie is supporting her mom's new hobby of grave rubbings by photographing the process and some of the older tombstones when a woman who has been missing for forty years suddenly appears. Not only does she appear out of the mist, but she has a bloody gash on her head and apparently is suffering amnesia! Callie investigates further, and, of course, stumbles upon a (recently) dead body behind another tombstone.

Who is this mystery woman, and where has she been all these years? Who killed the third-rate mobster and why? Is Callie's relationship with Sam going to survive his parents' dislike/disapproval of Callie because of the hurt they feel she caused Sam all those years ago?

So much going on. But such a satisfying visit to Rock Creek Village. I love the characters in this series and learning more about them with every new book. It's like visiting with old friends and meeting new ones. I love Woody and Carl, of course. Callie's parents and friends are interesting and fun. I enjoy seeing them fleshed out even more with each new installment. I really want to learn some backstory of Mrs. Finney and Mr. Purdy.

This book could be read alone, but read the entire series. Immerse yourself in Rock Creek Village and get to know and love all these characters. ( )
