Should have read this after Murder at the Mendel. However it didn't hurt the mystery at all. Sally's daughter is now part of Joanne's family, which seems to be a good outcome. It was a little confusing to find Peter's girl friend portrayed extremely negatively in this book when she just appeared to be your average girlfriend in the previous one. People die weirdly, unpleasantly, in this and Joanne's daughter becomes involved when she finds a girl murdered and left out side the cafe Mieka is readying to open. The wandering soul reference is to a silver bracelet Christy (Peter's girlfriend) gives to Joanne, a bracelet with the request that "wandering soul pray for me". I have the feeling that MS Bowden saw a bracelet like this and really wanted to work it into a book, but I think it's a bit confusing. The discovery of what went on on a lake in the north is almost believable because it is astounding what people will swallow and deal with if they have enough incentive.Again, quite well written.
