About the Books...
The Batavia-on-Hudson Mystery Series Winter Witness (2020) Dead Man's Leap (2022) News and Reviews... For Winter Witness “Beautifully written and evocative, Winter Witness explores the comforts and quirky charms of small-town life...far more than a simple cozy mystery; it is also a sensitive and nuanced examination of the nature of compassion, loss, and community." - Erica Obey, author of The Curse of the Braddock Brides and The Horseman’s Word “Richly atmospheric, Winter Witness reminds us of the high cost of family secrets - and the even higher cost of those secrets being revealed.” - Liz Milliron, author of The Laurel Highlands Mysteries and The Home Front Mysteries For Dead Man's Leap “The river is rising and the residents of Batavia-on-Hudson take shelter in the community center, along with their pets, their treasures, and their secrets. DEAD MAN'S LEAP is the best kind of claustrophobic and all kinds of compelling. A real treat.” ~ Catriona McPherson, multi-award-winning author of A GINGERBREAD HOUSE “Deep, long-hidden secrets form the core of Tina deBellegarde’s fascinating sophomore mystery, a sophisticated and heartfelt exploration of a small Catskills community, those who have chosen to call it home, and the measures they’ll go to protect it from internal and external forces, both natural and otherwise. This novel will leave you thinking long after you’ve turned the last page. ~ Edwin Hill, Agatha- and Edgar-nominated author of THE SECRETS WE SHARE |
