Title: The body at Wrapp's Mill
Description: "Having quit her marriage and her teaching career, Marcy Dehanne, a newly established Mill Consultant, arrives at Wrapp's Mill in western North Carolina. She expects to land her first employment: implementing the restoration of the small, deteriorating grist mill. She finds, instead, a half-buried body behind the water wheel. The discovery of the corpse, unknown locally, complicates the possibility of restoring the mill, but with the help of a young female deputy - and a decided lack of enthusiasm  from the sheriff's office, the owner, and the handsome uncle of the deputy - Marcy forges ahead, risking her life to solve the murder and to restore the mill. A fan of mysteries and a devotee of grist mills, fifty-year-old Marcy realizes that reading about murder is much safer - if less interesting - than delving headlong into one." -- back cover.
