Wimsy can kill you... Ask Jen Pierce, late of Baltimore, and now the proud owner of an old farmhouse in the country, a cat named Jasper, and an at-risk job at the local newspaper. Not long ago, she survived a run-in with a murderer from away. Now there are several new deaths in town, and she's the reporter on the spot. ************************* Front and center—I loved this book. . .The evocation of place was so strong that I thought I could smell the crisp winter air and that scent of pine when you reach out and brush against the trees when walking in the woods. The mystery of Lisa Gagnan's death is unraveled by questioning, searching for clues, and listening as much as to what is not said as to what is said. . .There's some nifty twists and turns to the plot so you're kept guessing to the end. —-Gayle Surrette, Gumshoe Review
Author
Sharon Lee has been married to her first husband for more than half her lifetime; she is a friend to cats, a member of the National Carousel Association, and oversees the dubious investment schemes of an improbable number of stuffed animals. Despite having been born in a year of the dragon, Sharon is an introvert. She lives in Maine because she likes it there. In fact, she likes it so much that she has written five novels set in Maine; contemporary fantasy trilogy Carousel Tides, Carousel Sun, Carousel Seas, and mysteries Barnburner and Gunshy. With the aforementioned first husband, Steve Miller, Sharon has written twenty novels of science fiction and fantasy—many of them set in the Liaden Universe® — and numerous short stories. She has occasionally been an advertising copywriter, a reporter, photographer, book reviewer, and secretary. She was for three years Executive Director of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc., and was subsequently elected vice president and then president of that organization.
