I have listened to all 16 books of this
author. I feel like I live in Whispering Pines
Wisconsin. The twists and turn are always
surprising and keep you in suspense.
The Narrator really gives emotional life to
each character.

No one takes a woman seriously in the Dakotas, least of all a woman of mixed race who owns the only general store in Flats Junction. But Kate has never let her heritage or gender stand in her way. Not even when shy, Boston-bred widow Jane moved to town and stole her beloved. Not even when her Lakota mother was forced to flee after her house mysteriously burned down.

Such a difficult problem of our society.
Greed and money using people like animals.
What courage it takes to fight against this problem.
Makes you sad that politics gets money for this

Shawn McGuire is a masterful writer. Her research of the details of the criminal justice cases and the evidence needed
to make and arrest are amazing. Love her way of weaving interaction of the characters and when they leave Whispering
Pines they are on a more positive road to improve their lives. I had to listen to this one twice. There is so much detail
that I missed on the first time. I will really miss the characters when this series comes to and end, Thanks for all the
surprises on the villagers and their interactions
I love the way the narrator puts life into the characters and the energy you feel in so many of the scenes. She makes the
characters come to life as though you really know them

When Salem Grimes stumbles onto a dead body on her way to an AA meeting, she does what any self-respecting Christian would do - freaks out and screeches words that would make Jesus blush. However, learning her ex-husband, Tony, stands accused of the murder spurs Salem into action. Eager to help, she makes the bold decision to investigate the case as an amateur sleuth. What she lacks in skills, qualifications, or a general clue on how to find, well, clues, she makes up for with the genuine desire to help.
