The Blue Water Mysteries
In the Dead of Winter Interview with Author Lyn Farrell published in City Pulse
IN THE DEAD OF WINTER” DISCUSSION AND SIGNING, WITH LYN FARRELL 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 26 Schuler Books 1982 W. Grand River Ave., Okemos facebook.com/schulerbooks By Kurt Anthony Krug Having written 11 books set in Tennessee and another set in Wisconsin, author Lyn Farrell was encouraged to set her latest novel in Michigan — specifically Charlevoix, where she owns property. The result is “In the Dead of Winter” (Camel Press, $17.95), the first in her “Blue Water Mysteries” series. Farrell — the pseudonym of Lynda Farquhar — will speak about and sign copies of the novel Thursday at Schuler Books in Okemos. “I was in Schulers this morning (March 17) and saw a display of the poster and all my books. I was tickled to see it,” Farrell said. In the story, Victoria Treadwell, a dispatcher for the Charlevoix County Sheriff’s Office, is driving in a snowstorm when she sees the car behind her swerve off the road. After she stops to help, she finds the driver, Carly Yellowwood, bent over the steering wheel and barely breathing. In the backseat is a tiny child in a pink snowsuit. Victoria calls an ambulance and her boss, Undersheriff Pete Manstead. Despite the first responders’ best efforts, they can’t save Carly. The coroner lists the cause of death as murder. Pete sends his deputies to visit Carly’s neighbors and learns she had been seeing two men. One was her ex-husband, Joe Yellowwood, a Native American living on the nearby reservation. No one knows the second man. Pete believes it was a crime of passion. However, Victoria, who wants to adopt Carly’s motherless child, thinks the motive was far darker. |
