Silent Secrets

A Whispering Pines Mystery, Book 7

In Whispering Pines, even downtime can be deadly.

The quiet time of year as settled over Whispering Pines. For months, Sheriff Jayne O’Shea had been looking forward to a little R&R but now she’s not so sure. What’s she supposed to do with herself? Take up knitting?

When a brawl breaks out at the local pub during the Thanksgiving gathering, a patron is critically wounded. Not the kind of distraction Jayne was looking for. There’s a long list of suspects, but she’s fairly certain it was one of the vigilantes who came to save the village from “that lady sheriff who doesn’t know her job.” But it might be someone from the growing group of villagers who aren’t happy with their sheriff’s performance. Or maybe it’s someone who’s not even on her list.

The one thing Jayne knows for sure is if she doesn’t get a handle on things, it could be time for her to turn in her badge.
