In this offering of the Hannah Ives mystery series, Hannah and her husband purchase a fixer-upper cottage on Maryland's Eastern shore. Although they were disappointed to lose their dream cottage due to an unscrupulous realtor, they happily take on a historical home and the requisite home improvement projects. As renovations begin, contractors discover the mummified body of an infant. Hannah, who was already researching her new home's history, searches for clues about the deceased infant's identity, unaware that more shocking events lie just around the corner. The past factors heavily on the present in this story, which also captures several aspects of life on Maryland's Eastern shore.
