"After playing a detective on TV, Francie travels to idyllic northern Minnesota to help her aunts. People are dying in strange accidents on Enchantment Lake, and the deaths seem to revolve around a treasure--could it be hidden at the bottom of the lake? In this charming first mystery, Francie finds the answers to most of her questions and even a bit of enchantment for herself."--Mary Logue, author of Lake of Tears and Sleep like a Tiger

"Minnesota's master storyteller Margi Preus gives us another gem of a novel--funny and moving, gorgeously written, and suspenseful.
