An unexpected skeleton is discovered in a family tomb and thus begins a mystery that extends from the present to the past and back. Narrator Mary Peiffer's sometimes whimsical tone acquaints us with the Kelling family and the puzzling story surrounding the burial of great-uncle Frederick. While the males voices could be more distinct, the many details of secrecy and betrayal move proficiently to the end.
