When Sophie Skala narrowly escapes
indictment for the murder of her abusive
husband, she seeks anonymity by moving to
a small lake island for the winter. But writer
and island resident Joe Wisdom recognizes
her--and quickly becomes the victim of
foul play.
Shaken by this latest crime, Sophie is
further distressed to learn that her late
husband's mistress also lives in the same
town. And even worse, this mistress has had
a relationship with Carl Jacobsen, Sophie's
new lover. But Carl has an uneasy
relationship with the island's inhabitants,
and his past remains cloaked in shadows.

"It's fun to find a contemporary mystery novel that tells a really good story
without a lot of gore and 'F' words. This is a book for anyone who wants a
'good read' and appreciates excellent written dialogue."
