The Greenleaf Murders
Young architect Wren Fontaine lands her dream job of restoring a magnificent Gilded Age mansion in New York City, but she quickly finds trouble amidst the glamor: Her client is not being entirely honest with her. His elderly aunt, who still occupies the house, lives in the past and views Wren with suspicion. Her client’s cousin, the beautiful Hadley Vanderwerf, seems very interested in getting to know Wren better–but she has secrets of her own. When a new murder echoes a long unsolved one from the past, Wren must race to save the house–and herself.
