The Northwoods village of Whispering Pines used to be a safe haven for outsiders, but after three deaths in two months, it's become a hotbed of murder.

Exhausted from being the only law enforcement official on duty, while also trying to open a bed-and-breakfast, Jayne O'Shea welcomes the escape she finds in her grandmother's journals.

If Jayne can put all the pieces of this puzzle together, she'll not only learn the truth behind her grandmother's death, she'll catch a killer whose been wandering the village for forty years.
