After losing her husband in an accident, Maggie Brown leaves behind the painful reminders of the past and moves home to her childhood town. But circumstances soon draw her back-first one death then another-and she reluctantly finds herself in the middle of a mystery. Why did Dolores, the mayor's wife, believe her husband had been murdered when he'd died of a heart attack? And why did Dolores die on an icy bridge just one week afterwards, supposedly in an accident? Maggie, with a little push from her mother, decides to investigate on her own. She has only one clue to go on-the strange words Dolores spoke to her just before she died. "The papers are in the broom closet, just in case anything happens to me. "As Maggie follows the paper trail to unravel the mystery, she finds it leading back to the past. Although busy with her children, teaching piano lessons, and accompanying a community musical production of "A Christmas Carol," she is determined to discover the truth so she can move forward with her life once again, and leave the past behind for good.
