First words
Schooners, steamboats, yachts, and fishing boats navigated the choppy waters of Penobscot Bay, but Ben Northcote was too deeply troubled by what he'd found on Keep Island to appreciate the attractive picture they made.
Quotations
[Diana's mother has told Ben's mother that her perfume doesn't suit her.] Maggie didn't bother with restraint. Something with nettles would suit you, I think. Or adder's tongue. Elmira chuckled. Good one.
Last words
[Diana] I am going in search of an ancestor named Rosamond and the Elizabethan gentlewoman who raised her.
Diana's wedding preparations are interrupted when her fiance Ben receives an urgent plea for help from a reclusive childhood friend in the final volume of this mystery series. Working on a secretive archeological dig on Graham Somener's island off the coast of Maine, a team of men have all been poisoned. When one is murdered in a diving accident and Graham refuses to call the police, Diana and Ben fear he may have fallen under the spell of a confidence woman posing as an archeologist from the Peabody Museum. Their investigations threaten Ben’s friendship and imperil Diana’s life before the conundrum is finally solved.
