A Simple Murder by Eleanor Kuhns

4.0

A highly touted debut by a librarian, a must read for me!!! Kuhns ability to transport the reader to the late 1700's Shaker community of Zion keeps the reader enthralled with mystery surrounding the murder of a young beautiful convert. Enter William Rees, a traveling weaver and ex-military investigator during the Revolutionary War, who makes it his mission to immerse himself in the community and solve the murder. The background story of Rees' relationship with his teen son and the romantic feelings toward Lydia a "shunned" Shaker cries for the hopefully continuation of the the book into a series.
