A dangerous storm, a wounded stranger, and a ghost from the past. Just another Thursday in Whispering Pines. A monster of a blizzard is on the way, but the hardy folks of Whispering Pines aren't bothered by the weather. Not when there are supplies to gather and neighbors to catch up with. As everyone finally settles in to ride out the storm, Sheriff Jayne O'Shea gets a phone call. A stranger has stumbled into the village. She's covered in bruises and mumbling about a car crash. Determined to figure out what happened to her, and to rescue any other potential victims still out there, Jayne braves the howling winds and arctic temperatures. Then another call comes in. An elderly villager is missing in the storm. Jayne can handle this. She can handle pretty much anything. But when a ghost from her past shows up at the bed-and-breakfast and tries to uncover Jayne's long-buried secrets, she may have reached her breaking point.

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.

"There are twists and turns that will keep you reading well into the night." Amazon reviewer In Whispering Pines, Halloween horrors involve more than goblins and ghouls. With only a smattering of tourists visiting the village for the Samhain feast, Jayne is excited ... no. She's looking forward to ... no. Jayne is guardedly optimistic about spending a few days with her demanding sister. Then a boy goes missing during trick-or-treating and everything changes. The parents aren't worried. Their son does this, they say. With a storm bearing down on the village, though, Jayne isn't content to dismiss this as a case of a curious kid off exploring the woods. Organizing a search-and-rescue mission gives her plenty to deal with but then the word "kidnapped" is mentioned and brings her sister's long-buried nightmare into the light, forcing Jayne to divide her attention at the worst possible time.
