Torie O'Shea investigates the tangled roots of an ancient family tree. Torie O'Shea-- genealogist and amateur sleuth-- is having a killer of a day. The town gossip spreads the word that her sweet wheelchair-bound mother is having an affair--with the sheriff! Then quiet Marie Dijon is found dead at the foot of her basement stairs. Did she fall' Was she pushed' All Torie knows is that Marie had a family tree with royal roots completely foreign to a folksy Middle America town like New Kassel, Missouri. As foreign as, say ... murder. But nosiness in New Kassel is as native as the upcoming Oktoberfest. To Torie, the open door to Marie's house is more tempting than chocolate. Finding a hidden key and old documents in French make further investigating irresistible. But while juggling her growing suspicions, a hectic job at the historical society, two kids, and a sexy husband, Torie overlooks the obvious. Curiosity killed the cat. Someone killed Marie Dijon. And now Torie might know too much to live ...
"An antique collector in Missouri is killed in a fall and police rule an accident. When the town's genealogist, Torie O'Shea, looks at the victim's collection she instinctively knows the lady was murdered."
"The open door of Marie Dijon's house is like an invitation to Torie. If her curiosity simply gets the best of her, it's not her fault, is it? Torie happens to be around when Marie is found crumpled at the foot of her own basement stairs, wearing her pajamas. Did Marie really just trip and fall, or could she have been pushed? And if so, why? Martin's Press."

"When small-town genealogist and amateur detective Torie O'Shea stumbles into a dead woman's kitchen, makes away with sought-after documents, and proceeds to irritate the sheriff, the local gossip columnist, and the nun at Santa Lucia Church, some people feel that she has gone too far and must be stopped."@en
