Praise for Mrs. Lilac’s “Utterly charming,” “Mind-grabbing and intriguing!” “A jewel!” AMAZON REVIEWS A portrait of Mrs. Lilac is a sequel to the perennial favorite, Mrs. Lilac’s Year. It continues the saga of the popular Tarot reader, faithful friend and sleuth. In this new story Mrs. Lilac must confront a challenge to her friendship and romantic involvement with the local farmer, Bill Green, by a mysterious blond real estate agent who appears on the scene and disrupts the peaceful life of Caronsburg and its residents. Mrs. Lilac also sits for a portrait being done by her artist friend, Fern Gilmore, but the picture remains unfinished when Fern is involved in a vehicular accident and remains comatose in the hospital. How she deals with these personal challenges, and unravels the circumstances behind the murder of a young man in an abandoned house at the edge of town, creates a tale of mystery and intrigue, and one of heart touch and delight as Mrs. Lilac brings all the loose ends together into a satisfying conclusion.
