When an elderly friend of Thomas Martindale is found murdered, the vacationing journalism professor and amateur sleuth turned to a manuscript—a WWII memoir of her youth in occupied France—to find the killer.

Publisher’s Weekly

The author is skilled at ratcheting up suspense while moving Martindale and company into deeper and deeper doo-do…. Lovell’s storytelling has more in common with Tom Clancy than Agatha Christie.

Fairbanks Daily News

“In the second of this enjoyable Oregon-based series… Martindale gets mixed up in the death of an unpleasant marine biologist, … the long ago death of a graduate student, and a too human conspiracy involving whales.”

The Seattle Times

One of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read!

…just sparkles with imagination and beautiful imagery. The characters are real. We feel their joy, their laughter, their heartbreak. Wow. Just… Wow. Highly recommended.

I finished the book in two days because I couldn’t put it down! The characters were so real and at times, I felt I was each of the three main characters.

This book is very entertaining, beautifully written, and colorfully described. As I read this, I felt very close to each character as if I knew them personally.
