Jeanne M. Dams: Murder of a Recluse
Oak Park Village #3
I read the first book in this series, Murder in the Park, when it came out in 2021. It stuck in my head, and when I picked up the latest book four years later, the place and characters came back to me right away. Set in a Chicago suburb in the 20’s, the books follow now new bride Elizabeth Wilkins. She’s separated herself at last from a difficult and controlling mother and is finding life as a young bride very pleasant. She and her husband are building a house and are making space for his Aunt Lucy in their new home.
