A Memory of Muskets
(2016)(The seventh book in the Chloe Ellefson Mystery series)
A novel by Kathleen Ernst
Curator Chloe Ellefson is happily planning to spotlight home-front challenges and German immigrants at Old World Wisconsin's first Civil War reenactment, but her overbearing boss scorns her ideas and proposes staging a mock battle instead. And when a reenactor is found dead at one of the historic site's German farms, Chloe's boyfriend, cop Roelke McKenna, suspects murder.
The more Roelke learns about reenacting, the more he fears that a killer will join the ranks. Then Chloe discovers a disturbing secret about Roelke's Civil War - era ancestors. Together they struggle to solve crimes past and present...before Chloe loses her job and another reenactor loses his life.
