An excellent novel of suspense, as all of Barbara Michaels'/Elizabeth Peters' books are.

The hero of this book is one of my favorite heroes ever. Although the beginning of this book is slow, it's a great mystery and I really enjoyed it.

Into The Darkness
by Barbara Michaels
1990
Simon&Schuster
Good story, but rather slow. I enjoyed it, but dont think it's one of Michaels best.
Megan Venturi never really wanted to return to her hometown of Seldon. When her Grandfather suddenly passes away, Meg finds herself, unexpectedly, the owner of his antique jewelry business. The catch: she must share ownership with a man who she despises, Riley. Rumor about town says Riley shouldn't be trusted because of his dark past, and he was accused of the murder of a young woman.
Meg must decide if she want to keep the store.
And can she trust Riley, or is it all malicious rumor?

What better way to observe a long weekend than to reread some old favorites? Barbara Michaels' Into the Darkness and Walker in the Shadows were two of the very first "grown up" books I ventured into when I was a young girl. They're not perfect, but I harbor a great deal of affection for them--and I confess I was surprised by the subtleties I can see now that escaped me when I was less mature.
