This sounds like "The Weight of Water" by Anita Shreve, although that takes
place off of New Hampshire. - (the main character's name is Maren, and she
is Norwegian, and there is a murder in the 1800's.)

> country with her sister. The patron thinks one of the main characters
> was named Marit, that the book was written within the last 5 years, and
> that the author's first name may be Elizabeth.
