Product Description

Sight
Unseen

A Christmas sojourn to the scenic Swedish-American community of Bishop Hill serves as both a belated honeymoon for Indiana newlyweds Joan Spencer and husband, Lieutenant Fred Lundquist--and a chance for Fred to check up on his mother, Helga, whose battle with Alzheimer's is beginning to take its toll on the family.

For Joan, meeting her spirited mother-in-law turns out to be murder, literally, when the body of a local man is found in the snow and a terrified Mrs. Lundquist appears to have witnessed the vicious crime when she wandered off during one of her "bad" days. Too disoriented to clearly identify the killer, Helga is nonetheless too big a threat for the murderer to leave alone. With Helga's life in danger, Joan races to sort out which secrets are worth killing for in this peaceful hamlet.

Customer Reviews

Really good cozy mystery
Loved the characters, loved the setting. A good book to read with a cup of tea and an afternoon free. The Joan Spencer mysteries are well written and for cozies have more depth that some. If you've read some earlier books in this series, you know that Joan and Fred are finally married. They go to Fred's hometown of Bishop Hill to stay with Fred's mother (who has dementia) and dad while his sister and husband go on vacation. Fred's mother goes missing and when they find her she has found a dead body. The killer thinks she saw him and so they end up looking for the killer as well as trying to protect Helga from him. That's all I'm going to tell you. I enjoyed this book very much.
