In the heat of a Berkshires summer, drought reveals a grim secret. A perfectly preserved body surfaces in Wolf Bog, discovered by a group of hikers including amateur sleuth Kathryn Stinson and her close friend Charlotte Hinckley.
Kathryn's investigation draws her into a tangled case of privilege and hidden desires. In the once-glamorous mansion up the hill from Kathryn’s rental house, lavish parties were held by the town's youthful elite. But those who worked hard to bury the past don't rest easy.
Complicating matters, a stranger arrives claiming to be the daughter Charlotte gave up for adoption. Is she truly family—or playing a dangerous game? As Kathryn uncovers one secret after another, her pursuit of the truth could cost her dearly.
An atmospheric mystery set in rural New England, WOLF BOG is the third book in the Berkshire Hilltown Mysteries series by Leslie Wheeler.
