Crafts and Life

As president of the Pennsylvania Antiquarian Society in Philadelphia, Nell Pratt relies on the generosity of philanthropists. But when someone starts killing benefactors, it’s Nell’s turn to come to their aid…

When Nell reads the obituary of a former board member, Adeline Harrison, she makes a mental note to send flowers and doesn’t think twice about it—until FBI agent James Morrison shares his suspicions about the nature of Adeline’s death. It turns out that a number of other members of the local cultural community have died in the last few months, under similar circumstances. Soon Nell uncovers what seems to be a plot to rid Philadelphia of harmless, elderly philanthropists—but why? If she can figure out the killer’s motive, she has a chance of stopping the misanthropic murderer before another do-gooder is done in…

Another great book from Sheila Connolly and a series that seems to be getting better book on book! In this one the Pennsylvania Antiquarian Society is going to have the first test of the new computerised system as the Water Works in Philadelphia wants to showcase the green credentials of their history and on-going future. As well as this Nell needs to attend a funeral and find out what will happen to some papers/artifacts that they hold for a smallish trust.

Oh and decide how the future will go with James! It is never dull in this museum!
