Killer in the Carriage House: A Victorian Village Mystery

By Sheila Connolly

Book Overview

Welcome back to Asheboro, Maryland, where real estate can be a matter of life and death. Killer in the Carriage House is the second book in the Victorian Village Mystery series from New York Times bestselling author Sheila Connolly.

Coming back to her hometown was never on the agenda for hotelier Kate Hamilton. But when she's offered a chance to lead the charge of transforming the landscape into a Victorian village and tourist attraction, Kate can't quite refuse. The only problem? Nobody in Asheboro has the passion, or the funds, to get plans off the ground. . .until Kate teams up with handsome historian Joshua Wainwright, who has ambitious ideas of his own involving an old mansion and a treasure-trove of documents that could attract investors and help seal the deal.

Then, just as Kate and Josh seem ready to pull the trigger, a dead body turns up in the town library. Do these mysterious papers spell danger instead of dollars? That's what Kate intends to find out before all bets are off...and someone else ends up six feet under.

Customer Reviews

Love this cozy mystery series!

This is the 2nd book in the Victorian Village Mysteries series and it was very enjoyable! The character development continues to grow from the first book and the plot is becoming more intricate. Kate, the main character, is trying to restore the town back to its original glory when she stumbles upon a dead body....again. Her luck seems to be running out and she’s faced with the constant worry of who she can trust. This could be a stand alone book but you wouldn’t be able to go back and read the first in the series without the mystery being spoiled. I highly recommend this series if you enjoy the cozy mystery genre!
