Hall, Linda

Linda has a love affair with the water. All of her mysteries seem to have something to do with it. She grew up in New Jersey, and her love of the ocean was born there. In 1971, she married a Canadian and moved to Canada.

She has written a dozen novels and seven non-fiction books. She has also worked as a reporter and feature writer for a daily newspaper in British Columbia. When she is not writing (and even while she is), she and her husband spend the summer months aboard their sailboat, Gypsy Rover II, sailing the coast of Maine and New Brunswick.

Black Ice. WaterBrook/Random House, 2007

Lenore Featherjohn found the girl, frozen against a snow bank behind her bed-and-breakfast. Some said she was a ghost, others an angel. Lenore knows better. Fearing that the police might look to her sons as murderers, she hires Jake Rikker and his crusty business partner, May, to investigate the suspicious circumstances surrounding this undesirable discovery. Their search leads them not to the strange girl–or to Earth’s final days, as many in the town suspect–but to Amy McLaren, the wife of a local minister. As Jake and May get closer to the truth, the tension between Lenore and Amy rises, forcing each woman to face the secrets they’ve hidden far too long.
