Publisher's summary

Jenny Weston and her mother, Dora, have been receiving strange midnight visits. The town of Bear Falls, Michigan, has its own elusive and highly secretive poet, Emily Sutton, who has lived her life cloistered away with her sister in a house at the edge of Pewee Swamp. But now, Emily has started leaving scraps of poetry in Dora's little free library, and Dora makes it her mission to befriend the sheltered woman.

Meanwhile Zoe Zola - almost famous author, little person, and the Westons' quirky next-door neighbor - is hard at work on a new book, this one about the inner life of Emily Dickinson. And once again, Zoe's literary work starts making uncanny connections with the events in her own world as Emily Sutton reemerges into society. But Zoe begins to suspect things aren't anywhere near normal at Emily's swamp house or in the lives of the people she claims have abandoned her - until looking further into the poet's half-truths leads Zoe and Jenny to a horrible murder.

The chaos surrounding the ensuing investigation grows even more hectic with Emily's increasingly erratic behavior, the arrival of a young woman searching for her missing poet uncle, and yet another betrayal in Jenny's love life. And only poetry can set the truth free.

She stopped for death

I enjoyed my time reading this book! The characters were colorful and interesting. The story was unexpected and fun.

Love it accept the male character voices

More variants on the men’s voices would be great. They all sounded same. It was confusing who was speaking

Great storyline!!!

This was like eating a delicious layered dessert. Each piece stimulating and pulling you in. Leaving you wanting more!

Loved it.

It moved along with lots of characters, but if you grew up in a small village, or quaint town you will probably agree that it is spot on!!!

4

I just read through the 3 books Audible owns. The 3 are good little cozies, very good. The author has a fine pedigree as professor, writer and well read Michigan - er :-)
Her mysteries are fun listening, they invite the reader in for coffee and fine
thinking on gardens and literary plums , (austen-really?) for her characters will grow on you. Good crime
studies though before i reached the end of each book i sped through the worst of the dark explorations of evil.

I am so intense with this author I can not get enough. I can not wait to listen to the next book.

Excellent Story

I really enjoyed this book. Loved the characters. The story was predictable but enjoyable. I would recommend this book.

Need a little more development and intrigue

Loved this installment as it added a little more mystery. However, few details could have been developed more. The narrator is just amazing and definitely brings the story to life.

Very good read!

This is my second book by Elizabeth and it did not disappoint. Thought it was well written with lots of creativity and detail. I can’t wait to listen to the next in the series.

Easy Listen

I found it more engaging than the first book of the series as I understood the characters a bit more. Decent plot line but could have delved a little deeper.
