Marry in Haste (An Endurance Mystery)

HISTORY REPEATS

Life is falling into place for retired teacher Grace Kimball--she's writing for the Endurance Register and dating its editor, Jeff Maitlin. But when Conrad Folger, the bank president, is murdered and his wife, Emily, becomes the prime suspect, Grace sets out to prove that her former student is innocent. After all, many people had a motive to kill Folger. A list of possible suspects emerges: spurned lovers, unhappy bank clients, and even family members.

Then Grace and Jeff find a diary from 1893 in Jeff's newly bought mansion. It was written by a naive seventeen-year-old who married a powerful judge--and what began as a joyous event quickly turned to terror. As Grace reads the diary, she sees parallels to Emily's life. Can lessons from the past help Grace clear Emily's name before the murderer strikes again?
