“Lake keeps things creepy” as Nick Lawrence must solve the mystery of a young orphan’s murder at a medieval fair (Publishers Weekly, starred review). It is May in the sleepy village of Lakehurst, Sussex, and Reverend Nick Lawrence has organized a Medieval Fair, complete with maypole dancing, archers, and a group of Morris dancers. The fair is a great success, but once the village green is deserted, a horrific event shocks the village. The young orphan Billy is shot through the heart with an arrow—and his body is found covered with maypole ribbons. It is up to Nick and Det. Inspector Dominic Tennant to find out who would commit such a horrific crime—and why. The Moonlit Door is the third book in the Nick Lawrence Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. “Lake continues to write Reverend Lawrence as a refreshingly well-rounded character.” —Booklist

A fortune is found in an attic just as help arrives from an unexpected source--and does so in the nick of time...
