A new Kate Lawrence mystery, inspired by Wethersfield’s own
Silas W. Robbins House on the Broad Street Green

A Skeleton in the Closet
3rd in the Kate Lawrence mystery series set in historic Old Wethersfield, Connecticut
ISBN 978-0-615-26899-6 trade paperback

     Everyone has a skeleton or two in their pasts, but the one that turns up at 185 Broad Street in Old Wethersfield is all too real.  Afraid that the discovery of a corpse on their property might put off potential buyers, the elderly owners of the historic Victorian house turn to Wethersfield realtor and reluctant amateur sleuth Kate Lawrence to solve their problem.

     As if that weren’t enough to contend with, Kate and her longtime love Armando are moving in together.  Kate’s partner Strutter has a secret that sends everyone reeling.  Best friend Margo sets her cap for a local police officer.  And every last one of them is being threatened by an anonymous poison pen.

     Join Kate and her friends as all of the skeletons--figurative and literal--come crashing out of the closets to challenge the three women as never before.
