For sister and brother Lily and Robert Brewster and the rest of the Hudson Valley, the dark days of the Depression mean deprivation all around. Their poor town has lost its post office and now the mail gets dumped at the train station. When Robert helps a young widow haul her newly arrived German grandfather's trunks home, he thinks he may have found a new set of friends. But when a swastika is found painted on the widow's window, and the train porter is found dead, Robert and Lily know that something much deeper, and much darker, has moved into their sleepy little town.

Jill Churchill goes back in time for another Grace & Favor mystery. It's 1933, in New York's Hudson Valley. The Great Depression has a stranglehold on the population, and war with Germany is imminent. The Brewster siblings live at the mansion they inherited from a great uncle, and it's not long before skeletons, homicides, and hate crimes rear their ugly heads. Susan Eriksen handles all with good-natured optimism. Her energetic performance makes the Brewsters believable, ingenuous, likable young people, and she creates two wholly credible characters in Police Chief Walker and Deputy Parker as they go about the business of straightening up the mess at Grace & Favor.
