For curator Chloe Ellefson, a family bonding trip to Decorah, Iowa for rosemaling classes seems like a great idea--until they start driving. After finally reaching the Vesterheim Museum, Chloe's efforts to remain positive are squashed when she and Roelke find Petra Lekstrom's body in one of the museum's antique immigrant trunks. Everyone is shaken by the class instructor's murder, and when her mom volunteers to take over Petra's class, Chloe is put in the hot seat of motherly criticism. As she investigates, Chloe uncovers dark family secrets that could be deadly for her mom--and even herself.
