Maggie, Joan, and Ruth never expected an ordinary Saturday of bargain hunting to lead them into a mystery decades in the making.
But when the three friends discover an old portrait with a hidden note, their curiosity gets the better of them. Who was the woman in the painting? Why had someone left such a troubling message? And what really happened all those years ago?
Following a trail of forgotten newspaper stories, family secrets, and unexpected discoveries, the women soon learn that the past isn't always as settled as it seems.
Set in the small Southern town of Avalon Falls, The Threshold of Summer is a lighthearted mystery about friendship, curiosity, and the adventures that can begin when you least expect them.
Because retirement doesn't mean the end of adventure.
