The Sharpened Inheritance
Widow's Point Lighthouse, Caldmere
Lionel Barrow, 81, was found bleeding on the caretaker's cottage floor at Widow's Point Lighthouse — a deep laceration across his forearm, a shattered display case nearby, and three people who all claim they weren't in the room when it happened.
Everyone has something to hide.
Thirty years tending Widow's Point. Chose isolation the way some people choose religion. Methodical, private, tightly wound beneath a calm surface.
Tends a remarkable garden on the island. Supplies herbs to Wren & Finch and makes tinctures half of Caldmere swears by. Has a knowledge of plant toxicology she frames as 'folk medicine.'
The newest Cliff Walk resident. Made her money in Boston real estate and moved to Caldmere with plans to 'revitalize' the waterfront. Shrewd, social, and genuinely confused by the hostility.
