Diane Greenwood Muir - Bellingwood 05 - Life Between the Lines

It finally happened. One of Polly's guests dies—right at her front door. Thomas Zeller, an author with a strong affection for Edgar Allan Poe, wakes Polly in the middle of the night with fatal stab wounds, and she has to call the sheriff who threatens to buy her a Grim Reaper costume for Halloween. Zeller leaves behind a mystery for Polly to solve, and she gets everyone involved as she uncovers his real motive for being in Bellingwood.As if that isn't enough, someone vandalizes Sycamore House, and Polly can't imagine who might be that angry at her. She and Jeff Lyndsay are preparing to celebrate the first anniversary of Sycamore House with a Masquerade Ball, and Lydia Merritt decorates the large foyer for Beggar's Night with a Haunted Hallway. With all of these things happening around her, Polly continues to meet new friends and build her relationship with Henry Sturtz.
