Shadows Fall

“The past has driven me back here,” Beth Gray says when she returns to Wilder with her little girl, fifteen years after being convicted of murder. Sheriff Les Kendall advises her to leave, but he doesn’t know Beth can’t escape her nightmares.

When Beth Gray was seventeen, a fourteen-year-old boy was shot in the woods near her home, and Beth was convicted of killing him. She spent six years in prison for a murder she didn’t commit.

Shadows Fall has been described many ways, as romantic mystery, psychological suspense, and even by Nancy Marple as “. . . an Americanized traditional English Country House mystery with a bitter underlying twist.”

Sample chapters of Shadows Fall are available on my website, and either the trade paperback edition or a Mobipocket PDA ebook may be obtained via the Shadows Fall Purchase Page.

P.S. 11-13-2004 — I’m an avid knitter myself, and while knitting plays a minor, background role in Shadows Fall, it plays a major role in my life.
