The Old Miller Place ****
In 1961 George Peabody struggles for months to find employment. When he is about ready to give up he lands a job with a small newspaper. He likes the area and talks his wife, Elizabeth; into buying an old rundown house. Objects start moving by themselves and an icy presence permeates the entire house. Is he and his family safe? He researches the old house’s history and learns of grizzly murders that had taken place there. An attorney is bludgeoned to death and a woman turns up dead in the back of his truck. He is accused of both murders and is on trial for his life. Has he been framed for their murders by a crooked cop, Detective Strausser, or is it someone else? Are the murders of the past somehow connected to what is currently going on? Suddenly he is abducted by the real killer. It becomes a race against time as a retired police detective, Gary Wise, and his ex-partner, Detective Thayer, search for clues to find him.

Enjoyed the post, Gary. I visited Wenatchee this summer, and Grand Coulee Dam as well. Went back to Everett for my 50th EHS reunion. I'm from Washington State, and still have relatives in Seattle, Everett, Wenatchee, Spokane and others. We try to visit every summer to do a little salmon fishing. Good luck with the new book!
ReplyDeleteGary, your books sound so interesting! I love the paranormal aspect of "The Old Miller Place" and the scariness of "The Kidnapping...". How horrible to wake up to that. I especially like the whimsical nature of "Return to Painter's Island". Sounds like a fun place for him to go. Good luck on your new release!
