Summary
Alafair Tucker is a strong woman, the core of family life on a farm in Oklahoma where the back-breaking work and daily logistics of caring for her husband Shaw, their nine children, and being neighborly requires hard muscle and a clear head. She?s also a woman of strong opinions, and it is her opinion that her neighbor, Harley Day, is a drunkard and a reprobate. So, when Harley?s body is discovered frozen in a snowdrift one January day in 1912, she isn?t surprised that his long-suffering family isn?t, if not actually celebrating, much grieving. When Alafair helps Harley?s wife prepare the body for burial, she discovers that Harley?s demise was anything but natural?there is a bullet lodged behind his ear. Alafair is concerned when she hears that Harley?s son, John Lee, is the prime suspect in his father?s murder, for Alafair?s seventeen-year-old daughter Phoebe is in love with the boy. At first, Alafair?s only fear is that Phoebe is in for a broken heart, but as she begins to unravel the events that led to Harley?s death, she discovers that Phoebe might be more than just John Lee?s sweetheart: she may be his accomplice in murder
