In this long-awaited, eagerly anticipated conclusion of the Biscuit McKee Mystery Series, Fran Stewart has reached the pinnacle of her writing career. As we say goodbye to Biscuit and Marmalade, the mysteries surrounding the town of Martinsville, Georgia are finally revealed.

The women who've sheltered from the ice storm at Biscuit and Bob's house have spent three days rummaging through the attic, and on this fourth day, they continue to find treasures that help to reveal the hidden history of Martinsville.

Between dealing with the woes of Mary Frances Martin and Hubbard Brandt, as evidenced in their 250-year-old journals, and dealing with a murder next door, all the inhabitants of Beechnut House are caught up in a maelstrom of deception, despair, delight, and danger.
