I am enjoying this wonderful and well written series. And this book is a perfect read for these long winter nights.... a good mystery set in the Lake George area of NY State... a strong female sleuth.
quick easy read for a rainy day
Beautiful gift copy.
Emerald Point, NY Mayor Loren Graham is looking forward to enjoying the holiday season with her fiancé and friends. The festivities have just begun when the body of well-respected nurse Denise McNaughton is found, beaten to death. Graham's friend, Deputy Sheriff Jim Thompson, in charge of the investigation and aware of Loren's propensity for amateur sleuthing, warns her to stay out of the case. Rumors are flying about McNaughton's social life and Loren, fearing for her town's safety, takes it upon herself to question those who knew McNaughton well. There are plenty of suspects, including a homeless vagrant and the ex-husband of Loren's best friend, both of whom reach out to Loren for help in proving their innocence. It isn't long before Loren's efforts to help these men turn the killer's eyes on her.
In this fifth installment of her Lake George Mystery series, White thrusts the reader into a thrilling whodunit, weaving into the story popular Lake George festivities, such as the New Year's Day Polar Bear Plunge. Loren is an interesting character, a strong woman who feels protective of her town and job as mayor. Secondary characters continue to evolve and are heartwarming and entertaining. This cozy whodunit will prove a challenging read for those trying to solve the mystery for themselves.
