Killing Frost (A Garth Ryland Mystery #11)
by John R. RiggsIt was the time in late February and early March in south-central Wisconsin of freeze and thaw, clear cold nights and sunny days, sap running, and maple syrup pots boiling. When cow manure spread while the ground is still frozen begins its waft of springtime aroma. It should not have been a time when gentle people find a naked torso, minus head, hands, and feet. But there it was in a mound of plastic trash bags and discarded Pampers. For Garth Ryland, special deputy and editor of the Oakalla Reporter the discovery was the beginning of the most baffling mystery he had ever come across. For starters, who was the victim? No one in Oakalla was missing. And only a local would know to dump a body down the road from Amos Hogue's place and the dilapidated house of Stella, the self-proclaimed witch. Could the dead man have been involved with the epidemic of robberies plaguing Oakalla in the last few months? And did the town's two ne'er-do-wells, Bruce Barger and Jeremy Pitts, who were spending so much time drinking beer with Stella at the Corner Bar and Grill, have some involvement? The more Garth looked for answers, the more the questions piled up. John R. Riggs has once again filled his pages with small-town eccentrics and Middle America idiocycrancies, getting below the placid surface of Oakalla to the greed, lust, and hate roiling beneath. Killing Frost is the most intense and fulfilling Garth Ryland mystery to date and earns John R. Riggs a place alongside the masters of the genre--Dorothy Sayers, Raymond Chandler and P. D. James. John R. Riggs, who has been praised by The New York Times as a "writer with real imagination," lives in Indiana where he is a river researcher and an archivist. Look for more books in the Garth Ryland series about a mild mannered, ever curious and ethical owner of a small town newspaper in Wisconsin who introduces us to the numerous rural and town people he interviews as he investigates situations he just can't ignore. Through his eyes we see the everyday lives of the people he thinks he knows and their deeper, hidden lives he could never have imagined. This series affectionately showcases life in midamerica, more about the hearts of people than violence, a cozy for all mystery readers. Look for other titles in the Bookshare collection including #3 The Glory Hound, #4 Hunting Ground, #7 One Man's Poison, #8 Cold Letter, #9 A Dragon Lives Forever, #10 Cold Hearts and Gentle People, #12 Snow on the Roses and #13 He Who Waits, with more to come.
