Synopsis
Five years ago, while William Rees was still recovering from his stint as a Revolutionary War soldier, his beloved wife died. Devastated, Will Rees left his son, David, in his sister's care, fled his Maine farm, and struck out for a tough but emotionally empty life as a traveling weaver. Now, upon returning unexpectedly to his farm, Rees discovers that David has been treated like a serf for years and finally ran away to join a secluded religious sect--the Shakers.
Overwhelmed by guilt and hoping to reconcile with his son, Rees immediately follows David to the Shaker community. But when a young Shaker woman is brutally murdered shortly after Rees's arrival, Rees finds himself launched into a complicated investigation where the bodies keep multiplying, a tangled web of family connections casts suspicion on everyone, and the beautiful woman on the edge of the Shaker community might be hiding troubling ties to the victims. It quickly becomes clear that in solving Sister Chastity's murder, Rees may well expose some of the Shaker community's darkest secrets, not to mention endanger his own life.
An atmospheric portrait of a compelling time in American history, A Simple Murder is an outstanding debut from Eleanor Kuhns, Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America's 2011 First Crime Novel Competition Winner.

Hardback. Etat : Fair. It is 1796. For several years Will Rees, a travelling weaver and former soldier, too bereaved from the death of his wife to be a proper father, has left his son in the care of his sister. Visiting unexpectedly, he discovers his son has been treated like a peasant and has run away. Rees tracks him to a Shaker settlement near Durham, Maine, where David is angry at his father and protected by the community. While waiting for a chance at reconciliation, Rees decides to ply his trade. After spending the first night in a farmer's barn he rides into town and is arrested for the murder of a young Shaker woman. After the farmer provides Rees with an alibi and he is released, Elder White, a Shaker leader wary of the sheriff, asks Rees to investigate the murder. Rees accepts the commission that will keep him close to his son, but as Rees learns the ways of the community he discovers that solving Sister Chastity's murder will uncover some members' darkest secrets.
