Tina Appleton Bishop's third novel, like her other stories, is set in Connecticut. Much conflict and angst festers beneath the serene surface of Christmas Cove, a popular tourist mecca operated by Larry and Sophie Bayers. Jennifer, their adopted daughter, had longed to search for her birth parents. Bruno, the bi-racial adopted son of the Bayers' friend, Anna Lagano, was driven by an equal compulsion. Both were warned against the perils in their quests. Hence the title "Open with Care." In a further complication, Max Lerner, a suave and scheming guest at the inn, was determined to exploit Anna's artistic talents, and for the Bayers there was the ever-looming threat that artificial trees might bankrupt their Christmas tree business. The novel's climax is the trial scene, the end of a plot that includes theft, romance, suspicion, heroism and a mysterious death.

The Bleached Widow

By: Tina Appleton Bishop

The backdrop for Tina Bishops fifth novel, The Bleached Widow, is a fashionable resort hotel in Maine. Hotel management, suspecting that Marjorie Truesdell, a glamorous and wealthy widow, is cheating other guests at high stakes bridge, brings in Lowell Rankin, a special detective from Las Vegas, to unmask her and her young accomplice. But when hotel guests start turning up dead, Rankin joins in the hunt for the murderer, a search that takes him up and down the East Coast and back in time. The cast of characters is as colorful as the Maine landscape. The Bleached Widow is a lively tale of jealousy and intrigue. Suspected murderers abound, as many were envious of the heroine, Marjorie Truesdell, who dominates the story long after her death. Tina Bishop keeps her reader eagerly turning the page, for the victims past is as much of a mystery as the question of who did her in. Judy Richter, Author of It Begins, It Ends You don't have to love resorts, mysterious characters and golf to enjoy this novel, but if you do, it will only increase your pleasure. Jerry Dumas, Cartoonist, Sam and Silo
