VINE VOICE: "Too good to be true!" VINE VOICE: "Fun, entertaining mystery with Shakespeare references." VINE VOICE: This book gets better with every page turned." VINE VOICE: "Another great humorous mystery!" "When reviewing the last novel I read by Peggy I compared her to Stephen King (in a good way) This time I'm reminded of another one of my favorite series—The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency." "Flawlessly executed!"
"Why send Sam her own ransom note? She hasn't been kidnapped yet!"

Sam and Clay decide to buy the stone house in New Hope from his art collector friends. But then Clay is called away for another undercover case and leaves Tony behind to safeguard Sam—a big mistake. How does a hunky mob guy from Jersey protect Sam? “The mystery and dialogue were spot on and flawless.”

Tony’s eyes are romantically targeted on Sam, who is in physical therapy for her mended broken leg from her last mystery where she was shoved down a set of stairs in the dark. “Beautiful writing, innuendo, & whip-smart dialogue.”

While there, Sam meets a mysterious woman who pulls her back into her past, one she wanted to forget. "A strong plot with a mystery worth solving." “...As a Shakespeare scholar myself I can vouch that her integration of classical Shakespearean literary elements and themes in this story are definitely present.”

Sam revisits the house she once rented in Medford Lakes, New Jersey when she was younger to hopefully find her journals that documented what she witnessed years before, something being buried next door in the woods. “A mystery within a mystery.” “This book was a bold new choice for Edelheit, revealing quite a bit right in the beginning, leaving me wondering how she’d be able to surprise me this time around.”

Could Sam’s past possibly tie into that ransom note she recently received? "Edelheit twisted this plot into an impossible Shakespearean pretzel with mistaken identities galore, buried secrets, and a swagger to every page that left me laughing.”

Are Sam’s memories coming back to haunt her, or would they kill her instead? Could she trust Tony to protect her, or was he tied into this? “All in all, Edelheit’s is a worthy diversion from hustle and bustle of crime and espionage, locating nuclear reactors, and squashing megalomaniacs with threats of worldwide domination; and could be one magic pill I would look forward to taking, time and time again.”
