About
Sarah, the only child of Rev. and Mrs. Cranston Estey, was betrothed to Connor McLagen of the affluent McLagen family.

Three days before the June 1927 wedding, Sarah disappeared. Her note said she'd changed her mind and decided to leave town. A week later she was found, buried in a rose garden, the gruesome and sensational discovery knocking New Brunswick prohibition wars out of the headlines. There were many with secrets to keep...

So glad I purchased this book. Sarah was a wonderful character. So many suspects, set up right away. I won't post spoilers, but the one who did bury Sarah probably isn't going to be who you think. I can't say it was totally unexpected for me, but all the twists and turns hold a few surprises. I definitely recommend reading this book. Another plus for me is being able to identify, for the most part, places in the book since it takes place in a city near me.
