Synopsis

“Fabulous all the way to the startling conclusion!”

In the small town of Goose Bend, Pennsylvania, people don’t forget—especially something as sensational as 12-year-old Jacob Gillis burning down the town.

Nineteen years later, Jacob returns hoping for redemption, but instead finds himself enmeshed in a murder investigation.

The prosecutor, taking advantage of Jacob’s involvement with the victim’s sister-in-law, threatens Jacob with loss of career and reputation if he doesn’t play by his rules. Only by outwitting the prosecutor can Jacob save his future.

Bride of the Wind [2]


“An exquisitely layered pastiche of mystery, suspense, and romance.”

It’s the worst nightmare of every parent come true. Rebekah Herschmann, the only daughter of influential Goose Bend business-man Fritz Herschmann and his wife Leah, disappears on her way home from Jordan where she works for Doctors Without Borders.

When a ransom note arrives demanding part of the family’s art collection instead of money, Detective William Laskey must investigate an incident that occurred in pre-world War II Vienna to unravel the mystery.

[Published 2 February 2018, 326 pages]

Recently, she returned to the United States and lives in Lexington, KY. Judy has two children, Julia and Stephen, two children-in-law, Jim and Erin, and four grandchildren: Kyle, Jon, Karina, and Addy.
