This book won the agatha award at Malice DOmestic this yeat. 
 And it was a good book. Makes me wish I had read others in the series first. I felt like their was a LOT of backstory in this book. 
 But some very interesting characters. And a town (Three Pines) that seems quite lovely -- except for the Hadley House. A place of evil? certainly prior murders ccured there, and now a woman has died of fright during a seance there. Apparently all used to cover another murder. 
 Much was satisfying, but the motives and ending, left me saddened.
