Written in Stone by Ellery Adams


Olivia Limoges continues to expand as a character in this 4th installment of the Books by the Bay.  Olivia who formerly was totally reserved, never expressing any emotion (part of her upbringing) is learning to empathize with her friends and with newly discovered family.   

Olivia is summoned to the cabin of a witch who claims to have known her mother and there Olivia is tasked in stopping a wrong - with no details of what exactly that is.

Meanwhile, Michèl (Olivia's head chef) and Olivia were asked to be the judges at the Food Festival.  Afterward, Willis (Michel's assistant) dies suddenly from an apparent poisoning.  When Willis' sister seems to be suffering the same fate the next day, Olivia steps in quickly to prevent another murder.

The research and details that are woven throughout this mystery are astonishing and I can't wait for the next one!
