Every once in a while, I spot a book cover that immediately wants me to add a locale to my must-see list. Once such cover is that of The Overlook Mystery: A Wintergreen Mystery by Patrick Kelly. And the book sounds like a good read, too.
About the Book
It’s a short walk to the overlook but a long way down.
The rich entrepreneur Damian Susskind has recently survived a heart attack and quintuple bypass surgery. Suddenly aware of his own mortality, Damian summons his family and friends to Wintergreen to share the latest plans for his will. Unfortunately for Damian, one of those in attendance bears him malicious intent, and by the end of the day, Damian is dead.
Retired police detective Bill O’Shea is asked to help the short-staffed Wintergreen police department investigate an accidental death. Forensic evidence soon convinces Bill that this was no accident. There is plenty of motive to go around and more than a few suspects–the difficulty is tying a single killer to the crime. Will Bill and his friends solve the case, or will a Wintergreen murderer go free?

Hi Cassidy! Thank you for hosting me today. I’m glad you like the cover. Sleepy Fox Studio designed the cover, and I think she did a terrific job. And yes, you should definitely put Wintergreen, Virginia on your places to visit. Stunning views. Lots of hiking. And wineries and breweries too. I’ll check back later to see if any of your readers have questions about The Overlook Murder or Wintergreen or anything else. Thanks again! Patrick Kelly
