Publisher's Summary:
Solitude at last!
Museum curator Chloe Ellefson jumps at the chance to spend time on Wisconsin's Rock Island, a state park with no electricity or roads. Hired as a consultant for a project to restore the island's historic 1857 lighthouse, her research turns up fascinating tough-as-nails women from the past.
Chloe's tranquility is spoiled when a dead woman washes ashore. Is it an accidental drowning? Or has tension over tighter fishing regulations reached a dangerous boiling point? When a second body is found, Chloe finds herself trapped on remote Rock Island with a killer.
Critic Reviews:
"Deftly flipping back and forth in time in alternating chapters, the author builds up two mystery cases and cleverly weaves them back together." (Library Journal)

A Lighthouse Murder with History
Book Three in this excellent series 'A Chloe Ellefson Mystery' finds out historian and museum curator, Chloe Ellefson working as a consultant for the 'historic lighthouse restoration project on Rock Island, Wisconsin.'
The restoration of the lighthouse has finally reached the point where they need Chloe's expertise in furnishing and telling of the lives of the historic edifice. Although, Chloe hasn't yet put a decade to focus upon, she finds herself drawn to a photograph of a former wife and assistant light keeper, Emily Betts.
As Chloe steeps herself in feeling how it must have been for Emily, she wanders down to the beach and finds a body! Shockingly, the victim is garbed in a controversial fish net called gill-net. As Chloe worries about the death, she finds that history and modern days seem to be overlapping. There is much written and found about the light keepers and the owners of the Viking Hall and Boat House, but little is known about the fishing village made up of immigrants from the Scandinavian countries.
As a side story, we have Chloe herself. Chloe was eager to take this respite from her normal job to give herself some space to think about her life and personal relationships. Chloe also realizes that she has an almost sixth sense...that of being able to immerse herself in the past of the area she is working in. Hearing children's laughter leads her into further studies of the lighthouse but is that what she is supposed to do?
This series draws me as it is based upon true historic sites. Ms. Ernst blends reality with fiction in a smooth seamless style that compels me to continue reading. Almost like weaving a gill-net. To imagine living with burning lard in your home day in and day out...carrying buckets of the stuff up many flights on winding stairs to keep the life-light burning for the ships entering Green Bay...well it has opened my curiosity and I will be 'looking' up further resources given at the end in the 'Acknowledgement' pages. A great read!
a nice story to curl up with!
I have read all of Kathleen Ernst's stories on the intrepid and spunky Chloe Ellefson and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Ms Ernst writes very well, keeps the reader interested from first page to last, and in this story has woven the lives of those who have gone before with the actions of those in the present.
