Publisher's summary

As a toddler, in a room illuminated only by the flames of a fallen candle, Jacobia Tiptree watched a man kill her mother. Jake once believed that man to be her father. Now, 35 years after the murder, as the real killer's long-delayed trial is about to begin, the defendant has vanished.

Jake tries to distract herself from murder with the constant attempts to keep her 1823 Federal-style fixer-upper from tumbling down on her head. But when her best friend's infant daughter suddenly goes missing, Jake feels her dark past wrapping itself around her...and needless to say, it's nowhere near as charming as her rickety old house.

Best of the series so far

I really enjoyed this book. I have liked all the previous books in the series but I had trouble putting this one down.

One of her best books yet!

What made the experience of listening to A Face at the Window the most enjoyable?

The plot was not the standard "who-dun it" there were new elements that I've not read in mystery books before.

What did you like best about this story?

The twists and turns that happened in the plot.

What does Lindsay Ellison bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I like that she is true to the Maine pronunciations of things.

Great Read

This is a fantastic story, really enjoyable. The only criticism is that it is read in the second person. All other books in series are in first person. In no way does it take away from the story just not what I have come to expect from these readings

Another no-napping thriller!!!

Very fast paced, lots of places and characters to keep track of, lots of bad guys... and a happy ending for all the good guys😀😀😀
One question, did Jake ever get the matching necklace from Bob Arnold???

I Really enjoy these books

I do have one thing, I’m flummoxed by. Why did her husband have the same last name as her dad. Did they explain this? It pulls me out of the story when I think about it.
