Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

Trying to leave painful memories behind her, Chloe Ellefson is making a fresh start. She's the new collections curator at Old World Wisconsin, an outdoor ethnic museum showcasing 1870s settlement life. On her first day, Chloe meets with an elderly woman who begs her to find a priceless eighteenth-century Norwegian ale bowl that had been donated to the museum years ago. But before Chloe can find the heirloom and return it to her, the woman dies in a suspicious car crash.

Digging up the history and whereabouts of the rare artifact quickly turns dangerous. Chloe discovers that someone is desperately trying to cover up all traces of the bowl's existenceâ??by any means necessary. Assisting Chloe is police officer Roelke McKenna, whose own haunting past compels him to protect her. To catch the covetous killer, Chloe must solve a decades-old puzzle . . . before she becomes a part of history herself.

Praise:

"Clever plot twists and credible characters make this a far from humdrum cozy."â??Publishers Weekly

"This series debut by an author of children's mysteries rolls out nicely for readers who like a cozy with a dab of antique lore. Jeanne M. Dams fans will like the ethnic background."â??Library Journal

"Information on how to conduct historical research, background on Norwegian culture, and details about running an outdoor museum frame the engaging story of a woman devastated by a failed romantic relationship whose sleuthing helps her heal."â??Booklist

"Old World Murder is strongest in its charming local color and genuine love for Wisconsinâ??s rolling hills, pastures, and woodlands...a delightful distraction for an evening or two."â??New York Journal of Books

"A wonderfully-woven tale that winds in and out of modern and historical Wisconsin with plenty of mysteriesâ??both past and present. In curator Chloe Ellefson, Ernst has created a captivating character with humor, grit, and a tangled history of her own that needs unraveling. Enchanting!"â??Sandi Ault, author of the WILD Mystery Series and recipient of the Mary Higgins Clark Award

"Propulsive and superbly written, this first entry in a dynamite new series from accomplished author Kathleen Ernst seamlessly melds the 1980's and the 19th century. Character-driven, with mystery aplenty, Old World Murder is a sensational read. Think Sue Grafton meets Earlene Fowler, with a dash of Elizabeth Peters."â??Julia Spencer-Fleming, Anthony and Agatha Award-winning author of I Shall Not Want and One Was A Soldier

"Museum masterpiece."â??Rosebud Book Reviews

"A real find...5 stars."â??… (mere)

Very good. A mixture of history and Mystery what could be better ( )

liked it a lot. ( )

I didn't have high expectations for this book, so I was mildly surprised when I liked it. Yeah, the whole depression thing was a little heavy-handed, but it served a purpose in the character's development and motives, so it was easy to look past it. The plot was a little convoluted; I really didn't feel the motive was enough to provoke the crimes. Having lived in Norway, I enjoyed (and probably had a better understanding of) the many references, particularly the language. Overall, I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series (although not very happy about an impending love triangle.) ( )

This was a good book in spite of the fact that the main character is battling some very weighty issues with depression. I don't normally like my cozy mysteries to be "heavy", but the protag showed enough spunk to keep me reading what was a good, if a bit convoluted, story. I'll read the next one, but if the mood doesn't show signs of lightening up, I might abandon the series after the second one. But I would recommend this book. ( )

On her first day at her new job in a historical reenactment museum, Chloe Ellefson meets an older woman looking for an artifact donated nearly 25 years earlier. When the older woman dies in a car accident immediately after the encounter, Chloe finds herself looking into the artifact more closely. The basic premise of the book was enjoyable, but parts of it could have used more editing. ( )
