The Fifth Petal: A Novel of Salem by Brunonia Barry. Crown Publishing, 2017. Adult Mystery.
In 1989, three young women were killed in Salem. Now, one of their daughters, Callie Cahill, has returned to the town to help police discover what really happened. Of course, since it IS Salem, rumors of witchcraft swirl. Policeman Rafferty and his wife who runs the local tearoom hope to clear former historian and now homeless person, Rose Whelan. Callie, now a music therapist, was like a daughter to Rose and wants to help her, too. Callie seems vulnerable to love from a wealthy young local man and readers want to root for her, but is he for real? It all stirs into the cauldron of mystery and suspense created by Barry.
