Publisher's summary
Faith Fairchild and her husband Tom, the handsome young minister, have left the little village of Aleford, Massachusetts, for a summer on Sanpere Island, off the coast of Maine. But Tom is called away to a three-week religious retreat in New Hampshire, leaving Faith to amuse herself and care for baby Benjamin, now safely into his terrible twos. The summer begins innocently enough, with Faith involved in a seemingly harmless mystery, a hunt for treasure, the clues to which are cryptically embedded in a patchwork quilt. Then she and young Benjamin almost stumble over the body of another summer resident along the beach, and Faith is forced into more serious - and dangerous - detection.

Another great book in this series.
I'm always interested in seeing how great books in a series are followed up without the setting and characters getting stale. I know this is only the 2nd in the series but like the Victoria Abbott books I found it enjoyable and fresh in ideas, character and plot. Looking forward to reading/listening to others!
