Publisher's Summary

Agatha and Anthony Award nominee Susan Wittig Albert has garnered popular and critical acclaim for her whimsical mysteries based on the life and times of Beatrix Potter. In this sixth volume, Miss Potter must help the denizens of Near Sawrey solve a particularly knotty problem. After a suspicious fire consumes his haystacks, Farmer Harmsworth barricades the common path through his Applebeck Orchard. Tabitha Twitchet and her Cat Council are all in a tizzy when woodland creatures claim the fire was the work of a lantern-bearing specter. Hoping to calm her furry friends and reopen the vital thoroughfare, Miss Potter determines to ferret out the truth by deciphering any clues the culprit left behind. Amidst the beauty of the English countryside and the allure of a cozy mystery, listeners will encounter fascinating tidbits about rural life and Victorian society.
