The second book in the Jenny McNair Mystery Series, Winnie's Web, begins when Jenny McNair Campbell, reluctant assistant to her detective father, moves into the craftsman cottage that she has inherited from her beloved bohemian great aunt, Winnie. The day she arrives in her new home on beautiful Anamcara Island in the Pacific Northwest, Jenny digs up a skeleton in her rose garden. She also discovers that her aunt had enemies. Jenny attributes her ignorance of this to her aunt's ability to always see the best in everyone and to her philosophy that what others think of you is none of your business. Unfortunately Jenny is not as steadfast in her ability to follow that mantra, especially when she is met with the unwelcoming committee on the island. She soon realizes that some of the current islanders are still holding onto a fifty-year-old grudge which now, with Winnie gone, is directed at her.
As Jenny delves into her aunt's diaries, letters, and old photograph albums, as well as old newspaper gossip columns, Jenny discovers who was buried in her aunt's garden some fifty years ago. She also finds the Pied Piper gardener who was the great love of her aunt's life. She reads of artists who stayed with her aunt and other visitors to the island from a lifetime ago. She learns about her aunt's beautiful friend Maggie who broke hearts and destroyed friendships. And she learns why she is not welcome in the Main Street Market, the Cut, Curl, and Color Hair Salon, and most painfully, The Crown and Anchor Pub.
