amateur sleuth who reads houses - staged accident - resort town off-season - everyone knows everyone's business

The summer people have gone home, and Harbor Springs belongs to the year-rounders again. Twelve hundred people who know everybody else's business -- and Ada Byrne, fifty-two, knows more than most. Twenty-three years of winterizing the great summer cottages on the bluff has taught her that houses tell on their people.

When Ada walks into Bluffstone House for the final clean of the season and finds developer Marcus Webb dead at the foot of the main staircase, the town is quick to call it an accident. But the thermostat is set to fifty-five, and Marcus Webb was a man who lived at seventy-four. The stair runner lies perfectly flat; it never lay flat.

Somebody who didn't know the house straightened the scene -- and Ada knows houses.

A quiet, wry, absorbing mystery about a town sealing itself in for winter and the truths that rise when the bay freezes over.
