Synopsis

Set in a small contemporary New England Town of Aldenborough, Abigail Pickering, a widow in her late fifty’s struggles to hold together what little is left of her extended family—her niece who lives with her and her niece’s son that she helped to raise. Abby is the manager of the local municipal electric utility, which just happens to make her one of the highest paid municipal employees in town and the target of unrelenting political pressure. She has successfully managed to balance her personal and professional lives until several people with whom she is closely associated begin showing up murdered. Throughout the book Abby’s life as well as the lives of several others change profoundly as the community struggles to maintain the desired comfort of the status quo.

About this title

Review:

"The story has three distinct plotlines--the murders, a pornography and molestation scandal, and the struggle over the governance of the light department--which all culminate in a satisfying, surprising twist." - Kirkus Reviews
