They discover an unexpected ally in newcomer Lizzie Snow, a woman from “away” who seemed to have blown into town with the nor’easter, and who also seems to know a lot about the mind of a killer. But when the news of Karen’s murder spreads and much of the evidence points to Jake’s likable houseguest, she and her sleuthing partner, Ellie White, get to work. An amateur detective, she has sworn off chasing criminals. Meanwhile, as an epic nor’easter bears down on the idyllic island town, Jake Tiptree hurries to shore up her ramshackle old house against the big blow. But instead of the promise of an exciting new life, Karen meets her death. Upon inspection of the steeple, the police uncover the body of local teenager Karen Hansen, who had climbed the belfry’s dark, rickety stairs for a midnight rendezvous. It is nearly midnight when the enormous bell in the belfry of All Faith Chapel-silent for decades-booms forth, startling awake the entire town of Eastport. But when a shocking murder rocks the small town of Eastport, Maine, Jake may be the next victim for whom the bell tolls. And when catching criminals, she’s been known to really bring down the hammer. When it comes to home repair, Jacobia “Jake” Tiptree is a fervent wielder of power drills and paint brushes.
