Caroline Carlyle is a self-assured young woman whose everyday life is turned upside down in the aftermath of a shocking murder. During a much-anticipated dinner party at the Lamar's-the most prominent family in town and the caretakers of the grand Greyfield Estate and House-she makes the acquaintance of Oliver Belmont. But when Mr. Belmont is murdered the very same night, her own life and surety are thrown into disarray. The death and the questions surrounding it create turmoil in town, triggering both fear and anger. Caroline is swept into the mystery and drama, which leaves her shaken, confused, and even ashamed as more and more comes to light. Mr. Belmont's death and the resulting revelations reshape Caroline's perception of her formerly peaceful world, especially when she cannot help but delve deeper into the events surrounding the murder. As the investigation develops, so do her struggles with the marks it has left on her and the people around her. A mysterious murder is no more straightforward, it seems, than what such an event leaves in its wake. Thorns and Roses of Greyfield is a compelling story of murder in the high society of Nova Scotia, but along with the excitement and elegance of a well-spun period drama run deeper themes of tragedy, humanity, and how they intertwine.
