Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The third compulsive mystery in the Blackwater Bay series from Paula Gosling, author of Monkey Puzzle and winner of the CWA Golden Dagger. Blackwater Bay has frozen over for the season, now a place for the idle reverie of the town's sporting fishermen – and local teacher Jess Gibbons is stuck, gloomy about the sorry state of her life. So when a corpse floats up into an ice hole one morning, the intense shock is enough to shake her out of it. Soon, Sheriff Matt Gabriel’s team confirm the body to be a mob-connected New York ex-con, who could have been in the area to carry out a hit – and Blackwater’s quiet streets threaten to be submerged by a ravenous media circus. Then, as a girl from the local high school goes missing, the puzzle deepens. She was one of Jess's pupils, and her disappearance is inexplicable. Though – she was recently cautioned for drug use. Could this be a factor? As the community prepares for its annual Ice Festival, Matt and Jess work to unravel these mysterious events. Could the two cases be connected? Who did the ex-con want to kill? And will Jess sort her life out in time for the wife-sliding competition? Weaving diverse strands together with great wit and ingenuity, this is another hugely entertaining slice of murder and mystery in the Great Lakes. The Dead of Winter is the third book in the Blackwater Bay series. The series continues with Death and Shadows.

When he met Celia she confounded all of Kit’s expectations. She truly was the chaste woman of her repute, but also so very alluring!

Cooper Vengeance

By: Paula Graves

J. D. Cooper had left no stone unturned when investigating a cold case that hit much too close to home. Or so he'd thought. Thanks to small-town deputy Natalie Becker, new evidence had surfaced that might lead J.D. closer to the truth. But Natalie had a stake in this situation, too, and claimed that joining forces was their best strategy—and their best hope. Problem was, after years of working alone to solve a seemingly unsolvable crime, J.D. found himself distracted by his beautiful partner and her passion for doing the right thing. He'd never met anyone like her and that scared him as much asthis unidentifiable madman…until Natalie was made his next target.

The Discoveries of Mrs. Christopher Columbus

By: Paula DiPerna

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Discoveries of Mrs. Christopher Columbus

His Wife's Version

By: Paula DiPerna

Paula DiPerna’s first novel combines historical and scientific fact with a fictional, behind-the-scenes look at what might have been had there been a woman on Columbus’s voyages. Christopher Columbus’s wife, Felipa Moniz Perestrello, died in approximately 1484. If she had lived, this would be the diary she might have kept while traveling with her husband to the New World. The novel portrays Felipa as a jealous, passionate, and adventurous woman. DiPerna has come up with a great idea, and, despite a slow start, her narrative proves well written and engrossing. The author, a previous vice president of the Cousteau Society, is a seasoned traveler and well qualified to write about adventure and exploration. Recommended for most collections, especially women’s studies collections
