With his love of the past, Cage Foster was glad to get a job as Caretaker of Ironwood Plantation, a rundown Antebellum Mansion with a long history. He wants to see the mansion restored to its former grandeur and is happy when it is sold to Dani Evans, a specialist in historical renovation. But repairs come to a halt when a skeleton is found in the cellar. As experts are unearthing it, they find two recently murdered bodies buried near. As the Caretaker, Cage is the prime suspect in the murders. But Dani believes in his innocence and works to find the real murderer.

This is a good follow-up to "Tin God". I was pleased to see Cage featured in this book after having his heart broken in the last. Dani is a strong character and a great match for him. I also liked her relationship with Jaymee and was happy to see them become friends.

The mystery elements in this story are very good. There is an old abandoned house in need of repair, years and years worth of stories, secret passages, and bodies in the basement. I kept changing my mind about the identity of the villain, but never guessed the correct person. My rating: 4 Stars.
