Boy, this was a tough one on everybody in the Bald Eagle Falls community! 

Have I tortured the Cox family enough yet? Poor Mary Lou. 

I didn’t yet know when I wrote the ending of Cold as Ice Cream what had happened to Joshua or who the kidnapper was. The idea of having Joshua kidnapped after writing the newspaper story didn’t come until the end of the book and took me by surprise almost as much as it did Erin. 

I did enjoy looking up how to make gluten-free fortune cookies (although none with recipes that I could eat…) and in finding out how fortune cookies are baked and folded with the fortune inside them. But I felt a little like Bella too.

“That’s so cool,” Bella said. “But I’m a little sad to know the secret of how the fortune gets inside the cookie.”

Everybody nodded and laughed, agreeing.

“One of life’s mysteries solved,” Erin said. “You’ll have to move on to how they get the caramel into a Caramilk bar.”

“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.”
