Carte - Heritage of Darkness - Kathleen Ernst

\n \nDark Secrets Hidden in Norwegian Traditions\n \n \n\n \nFor curator Chloe Ellefson, a family bonding trip to Decorah, Iowa for rosemaling classes seems like a great idea-until the drive begins.\n \nChloe's cop friend Roelke takes her mother's talk of romantic customs good-naturedly, but it inflates Chloe's emotional distress higher with\n \neach passing mile.\n \n \n\n \nAfter finally reaching Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum, Chloe's resolve to remain positive is squashed when she and Roelke\n \nfind Petra Lekstrom's body in one of the antique immigrant trunks. Everyone is shaken by the instructor's murder, and when Mom\n \nvolunteers to take over the beginners' class, Chloe is put in the hot seat of motherly criticism. As she investigates, Chloe uncovers dark family\n \nsecrets that could be deadly for Mom . . . and even herself. \n \n \n\n \nIncludes photos of featured artifacts from the real Norwegian-American Museum. \n
