"Three World War II heroes about to be honored by the Coast Guard
are all found dead, apparent victims of carbon monoxide poisoning

this first-rate series (Death Stalks Door County, 2014)
provides plenty of challenges for both the detective and the
reader."--Kirkus Reviews

police procedural with a nuanced, brooding detective, set on the
gorgeous lakefront of a frigid Wisconsin peninsula."--Hallie
Ephron, New York Times best-selling author of Night
Night, Sleep Tight
"Death at Gills Rock is an expertly crafted, impressively
researched novel with a gripping, multilayered plot; colorful,
well-drawn characters that leap right off the page; tight, punchy
dialog; and a pace that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let
go."--Michael Norman, author of Haunted Wisconsin

festering hatreds. The author skillfully uses as her backdrop an
outwardly idyllic corner of Wisconsin."--Robert Goldsborough,
author of Archie in the Crosshairs, a Nero Wolfe Mystery

than the first."--Mary Logue, author of the Claire Watkins mystery
