A century ago, the peaceful, picturesque village of Assinippi, Massachusetts, became the focus of national attention after retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton was found dead in his bedroom. An autopsy revealed the presence of a fatal dose of arsenic. Authorities launched an investigation, and less than three weeks after the admiral's death they arrested his wife, Jennie May Eaton, for his murder. She later stood trial in Plymouth County Superior Court where an all-male jury decided her fate. The prominence of the admiral in military and social circles, the scandalous nature of the charges, and the rare indictment of a woman for a capital crime generated extensive press coverage. It was the era of sensationalism when newspapers, all vying to increase their circulations, splashed dramatic headlines, photographs, and sketches across their front pages. The Eaton case captivated people across the country for eight months in 1913. This book is a nonfictional account of the events leading up to Admiral Eaton's death, the ensuing investigation and trial, and the tragic aftermath. Newspaper stories, court records, town histories, census returns, vital records, genealogical records, military records, archival manuscripts, and other documentary evidence are among the sources the author used to tell the story of this significant chapter in the nation's history.

Not only is she confined to a wheelchair while she recovers from a recent accident, but she also has the challenge of becoming accustomed to life at rustic Silver Shadows - a ski lodge her father manages. More than adapting to her new surroundings, however, she finds herself resisting the temptation of falling in love with the resort's alluring owner.

Not all invitations deliver the fun they promise. In late October, amateur sleuth Gwen Andrews isn't expecting to be drawn into yet another suspicious death investigation. As weekend guests of her sister Tess's college roommate, they ride the ferry to Nantucket, anticipating a Halloween costume party, great food, and scintillating conversation. The fun soon disintegrates when the body of a woman who'd accused their hostess of an affair with her husband is discovered early the next morning on the beach below their hostess' home, and she's quickly labeled a person of interest. When it becomes apparent that the Nantucket police department is short-staffed, Gwen enlists her sleuthing partner and friend... retired detective Ben Snowcrest... to join the investigation. As they search for clues to determine whether the woman's death was an accident or something more sinister, Gwen battles the attraction between herself and Ben, fully aware that the ghost of her beloved husband Parker is waiting in the wings.
