Mysteries are like the moon. They wax and wane, becoming clear before disappearing entirely, only to reappear in a new light.

A new romance with Gordon, the quirky town librarian, adds another layer to their vintage mystery squad. As they delve into the mystery of the carriage house, Lois must confront the life challenges that brought her there or risk being overwhelmed by them.
