The Final Reveille: A Living History Museum Mystery

The Civil War is resurrected on Barton Farm, a living history museum in Ohio, run by the harried but dedicated Kelsey Cambridge. Determined to make a good impression on her benefactress Cynthia Cherry, and perhaps even impress Cynthia's sour-faced nephew, Maxwell, Kelsey plans an elaborate, weekend-long reenactment. Except for a few minor scuffles between hotheaded Union and Confederate boys, the event is off to a great start—until Maxwell is found dead. Besides obviously putting a damper on the weekend's activities, the murder also throws Kelsey into the cops' crosshairs since she was seen arguing with Maxwell the night before about proposed funding cuts to Barton Farms. Determined to unmask the real killer and save the farm, as well as keep the faux battles raging on just beyond the crime-scene tape, Kelsey reluctantly joins forces with hunky EMT—and nephew of the local police chief—Chase Wyatt to find the real killer before he (or she) strikes again.
