The Second Drowning of Eliza Rudd

Eliza Rudd drowned in the millpond in 1974. Eliza Rudd drowned in the millpond last Tuesday. Cass Delaney runs the flower shop next door and delivered lilies to the first funeral as a girl. She remembers the bracelet on the body. She remembers it because she had one just like it — the novelty kind, from a summer carnival that came once, in 1973, and sold exactly twelve. Both bodies wore that bracelet. Both drownings were signed off by the same retired coroner. And the woman who identified the second body has never once been seen in this town before. There are twelve bracelets. Cass is going to find the other ten, one customer at a time. A Claire Malloy-style small-town cozy horror mystery with a fifty-year surprise.
