About this item
by Leslie Wardwell (Author)
1963 - Sumner Falls, Vermont.
Eva Martin's life begins to unravel when she discovers that her husband of twenty five years is having an affair with their younger, widowed next-door neighbor. Shocked by the betrayal, Eva starts keeping a daily journal, filling its pages with suspicions, hopes, and prayers as their only daughter, Connie, leaves for college. Daunted by obsessive-compulsive housework and an empty house, Eva tries to shield Connie from her father's secret life while juggling her health, job, caring for her aging parents, and maintaining her closest friendships.
After Connie confronts her father and persuades him to move out, Eva never loses hope that he will come to his senses and return home. As Eva works to rebuild her marriage and save her family, someone murders her husband's former mistress.
What will Eva risk to save her marriage and her daughter Connie's upcoming wedding? What secrets will Eva keep to protect the people she loves? And will a small-town police officer finally uncover the truth?
A SUMNER FALLS AFFAIR is a slow-burning fictional murder mystery told partly through Eva's emotionally raw journals that explore a small town's complicity in a double murder.
