No Less in Blood

In 1893, Mary Anne Schlegel disappears after running away from her home in Birch Falls, Minnesota, to escape her overbearing father. More than 100 years later, adoptee Rachel Connolly goes to this same northern Minnesota town in search of her roots. Meanwhile, Luke Chapman, after killing his wife, Grace, in a rage, also goes to Birch Falls to locate his daughter, Linnet, who is in line to collect part of the Schlegel fortune, along with Linnet's grandfather, Jackson, longtime caretaker of the Schlegel family home. Chapman is followed by Detective James Florian, who is determined to find Grace's killer. Rachel, who unknowingly may upset Luke's and Jackson's plans for the Schlegel inheritance, digs deeply into the Schlegel family history and finds that her life is in danger as old secrets are revealed. Partly set in a mysterious old house in the bleak far north as winter closes in and told from multiple points of view, both past and present, this fast-paced, compelling story resolves both mysteries and ends on a hopeful note.
