Having quit her marriage and teaching career, Marcy Dehanne, a newly established Mill Consultant, arrives at remote Wrapp’s Mill in western North Carolina. She expects to land her first employment: implementing the restoration of the small, deteriorating grist mill. She finds, instead, a half-buried body behind the water wheel.The discovery of the corpse, unknown locally, complicates the possibility of restoring the mill, but with the help of a young female deputy—and a decided lack of enthusiasm from the sheriff’s office, the owner , and the handsome uncle of the deputy—Marcy forges ahead, risking her life to solve the murder and to restore the mill.A fan of mysteries and a devotee of grist mills, fifty-year-old Marcy realizes that reading about murder is much safer—if less interesting—than delving headlong into one.
