Rekindling Motives (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948070874)

It's Thanksgiving weekend in Ocean Alley and Jolie Gentil is attending her 10th high school reunion and appraising the vacant Tillotson-Fisher house. She is surprised by the skeleton of Richard Tillotson hidden in an antique attic wardrobe. He vanished just after his sister married his business partner in 1929. Jolie sees a link to the Fisher family's Prohibition era business and works with friends Scoobie and Ramona to gather clues from old photo albums and ledgers. The present day murder of Richard's former girlfriend, Mary Doris, tells them someone feels threatened by having Jolie dig into Richard's former family business, the Bakery at the Shore. What else went on in that abandoned bakery? Did the secret Mary Doris kept all these years finally kill her? Between running the food pantry at Christmas time and escaping a burning building, they hope to figure out who the modern killer is before someone else gets hurt.
