Thirty years ago Christene Bennett's best friend Maggie was the last person to be baptized in their small hometown that was destined to be flooded later in the same day. Today, there has been awful drought and the town has resurfaced, Maggie's daughter is going to be baptized in the same place. While Christine is exploring the church she hears an intruder, follows, and stumbles upon a corpse from a thirty year old murder. Now she is spending all of her spare time trying to solve the crime, with no help from publicity hungry sherriff and mayor, while the townspeople are all keeping secrets that could lead to even more scandal. This was not a very lengthy novel but I enjoyed it all the same. It made a very good vacation read.
What I really like about CHris Bennett is that she's deliberate and cautious, but doesn't take "no" for an answer.
