Everything is just fine in Bald Eagle Falls. Auntie Clem’s Bakery is stable and making good money.

It seems like ages since anyone was murdered or kidnapped. And it seems like just yesterday.

But things are not so rosy in Moose River. When Vic gets the call that her father is on his deathbed, she isn’t sure what to do. Erin takes the trip with her and it soon becomes clear to both of them that all is not right with the Jackson family.

Something dark and dangerous is going on in Moose River, and Erin Price is about to get her fill.

Author Notes may contain spoilers!

I decided it was time for Vic to go back to Moose River again to deal with a mystery surrounding her family. But when her father had chased her off last, he had told her never to come back home, and she had agreed. So what would get her to go back home again after that?

Would she go back if her mother asked her to? If someone in the family was in danger? Despite everything that had happened, Vic had grown up in a small, insular community, where family ties were valued and she was expected to participate in working the farm. She hunted and worked with her older brothers and was very close to them, or at least to Jeremy, the sibling nearest to her in age.

I knew that writing about Vic’s family would give me plenty of new fodder for a story. Their ties to organized crime, Crazy Theresa, and the dysfunctional family relationships gave me lots of places to take the story. Maybe there are a few twists and turns that you didn’t expect!

“Every single one of [P.D. Workman’s] books has spoken to me … And I have found strength in the books I’ve read.”

“This is one author I certainly will be looking out for, I can’t recommend her enough.”

“I’ll read anything by P. D. Workman that I can get my hands on.”

“Every book by PD Workman that I’ve read has been a gripping one, however different the genres are, going from lighter mysteries to really dark ones… this is one of my favourite, most dependable authors.”

“P.D. Workman is an incredibly versatile writer. No matter which of her books I read I am drawn into a great story and honestly, I don’t think I’ve followed another author that could go from cozy mystery to YA to a PI series dealing with mental health issues. Really enjoy her books!”

“[P.D. Workman’s] stories are so believable and you can’t help but feel like you know these people. You find yourself crying, laughing and feeling the characters emotions. Now if an author can make you cry and feel every emotion in a story, she is one hell of an author.”

“P. D. Workman, does not shy from probing the deep psychological scars of childhood trauma, mental illness, and addiction. Also characteristic of this author, these extremely sensitive issues are explored with extensive empathy, described with incredible clarity, and portrayed with profound insight.”

“Once again P.D.Workman has created an intense psychological mystery that impacts a wallop of thought induction. The writing is so well developed and draws you into the characters story.”
