Shadows of a Down East Summer: An Antique Print Mystery
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Antique print dealer Maggie Summer's Maine vacation is unexpectedly interrupted when she finds herself the heir to four generations of family secrets involving unrequited love, jealousy, art and murder.
In the summer of 1890, two young women posed for artist Winslow Homer on the coast of Maine. What happened that summer, the secrets the women kept, and the lies they told, changed their families forever. Now, more than a hundred years later, one of their descendants has been murdered, leaving to antique print dealer Maggie Summer the family papers that may finally reveal the truth. Maggie's vision of a relaxing vacation in Maine — antiquing with beau Will Brewer and visiting his Aunt Nettie — turns into a murder investigation. Maggie must discover which of the family myths are based on reality, before someone she cares about becomes the next victim.

Wait's engaging fifth Antique Print mystery (after 2005's Shadows at the Spring Show) takes antique print dealer Maggie Summer to fictional Waymouth, Maine, where her plans for relaxing with her boyfriend, Will Brewer, and visiting Will's Aunt Nettie get derailed. Enlisted to examine a recently discovered diary kept in 1890 by 18-year-old Anna May Pratt, who posed for Winslow Homer, Maggie inherits the diary after someone bashes in the head of its owner, Carolyn Chase, with a rolling pin. As Maggie once again turns amateur sleuth, she comes under pressure from locals who believe the diary could reveal long-kept secrets about the famous artist and his relationship to their community. Wait, herself an antiques dealer who lives on the Maine coast, does a good job depicting smalltown Maine and recreating 19th-century journal entries.

Maggie Summer (Shadows on the Coast of Maine), antique print dealer and an expert on 19th-century American art, is given the diary of a woman who may hold the key to a local dispute involving the artist Winslow Homer in Waymouth, ME. One of the ladies belonging to the historical society thinks that Homer fathered a child in her husband's family. VERDICT This gentle regional mystery involving the art community in Maine will appeal to readers of Jane K. Cleland and Sharon Fiffer.
