Mystery Monday: The Walled Flower by Lorraine Bartlett

StoreyBook Reviews 

This week I bring you book two in the Victoria Square mystery series by author Lorraine Bartlett.  She writes many series but this is a relatively new series with just 3 books out right now.  I am enjoying this series but I wonder why Kate is dating Andy…they don’t seem like a well matched pair and I wonder if that will change in the future.

Synopsis:

If Katie Bonner’s late husband hadn’t invested all their savings in the crafts fair Artisans Alley, the Webster mansion could have been hers to remodel into a bed-and-breakfast. Instead that dream belongs to another young couple. But that dream becomes a nightmare when a skeleton is discovered sealed in the walls of the mansion. The bones belong to Helen Winston, who went missing twenty-two years ago. Heather’s aunt, a jewelry vendor at Artisans Alley, asks Kate for help finding her niece’s murderer. The case may be cold, but the killer is very much alive-and ready to go to any lengths to keep past secrets buried
