  • Locations Guide for the Light Keeper's Legacy
    Locations Guide for The Light Keeper’s Legacy Book 3 in the Chloe Ellefson Historic Sites Mystery Series Written by Bestselling Author Kathleen Ernst Published by Midnight Ink Books An Island’s History Holds Clues to a Modern Mystery Museum curator Chloe Ellefson jumps at the chance to spend time on Wisconsin’s Rock Island, a state park with no electricity or roads. On temporary assignment from Old World Wisconsin to consult on restoring the island’s historic lighthouse, her research turns up tough-as-nails women from the past. Chloe’s tranquility is spoiled when a dead woman washes ashore. Is it an accidental drowning, or has tension over tighter fishing regulations reached a dangerous boiling point? When a second body is found, Chloe finds herself trapped with a killer on remote Rock Island. Author Kathleen Ernst writes at the intersection of people, places, and the past. That is especially true of her award-winning Chloe Ellefson Historic Sites series. This guide has been developed to help readers locate and learn about the places where key scenes in The Light Keeper’s Legacy are set. All the locations in the book are real—and can be visited. The two main characters in the series are Chloe Ellefson and Roelke McKenna. They reside and work in the southeast corner of Wisconsin. Chloe lives in the rural farming community of LaGrange and works as curator of collections at Old World Wisconsin, a large outdoor history museum just south of the Village of Eagle. Roelke (pronounced Rell-key) lives in the nearby village of Palmyra, and is employed as an officer with the Eagle Police Department.
