This “enjoyable” Maine-set mystery “skillfully uses misdirection to keep the reader guessing to the end” (Publishers Weekly). Business is booming at the Scottish Emporium in Moosetookalook, Maine, and Liss MacCrimmon Ruskin couldn’t be happier—or busier. A romantic getaway at a rustic Christmas tree farm is just what she needs. But the property’s mysterious past has her feeling less than merry . . . Liss is surprised when an old friend asks her to spend a week at the Christmas tree farm she just inherited. Realizing it’s a perfect chance for her and her husband, Dan, to get away, Liss happily accepts and packs her bags for the tiny town of New Boston. Upon their arrival, they’re greeted by a ramshackle farmhouse and unfriendly townsfolk. It’s hardly the idyllic vacation locale they hoped for, especially when needling neighbors raise questions about the farm’s dark history. Who was the man whose body was found neatly netted in a shipment of Scotch pine? Why did the owner vanish into thin air? And why are the trees growing so close together, forming a maze more twisted than a Celtic knot? The rumors pile up faster than snowdrifts in a blizzard, and something even more scandalous than murder hides beneath the town's humdrum façade. When a series of “accidents” strikes the farm, she’ll have to spring into action faster than a Highland Fling to find the killer lurking among the pines—before she ends up in a pine box herself . . . “An enjoyable small-town Christmas cozy.” —Library Journal “Fans of Carolyn Hart’s Death on Demand series will enjoy this.” —Booklist

A cold wind is blowing off Lake Michigan, and murder is scaring the dickens out of everyone . . . Considering her name, Marlee Jacob is an obvious choice for the role of Jacob Marley in Oriole Point’s production of A Christmas Carol. It’s just sad that the role has opened up because of the death of the elderly actor who’d originally been cast. But Marlee, the proprietor of The Berry Basket, will do her best to keep spirits high—that is, until clues start mounting that there’s danger behind the scenes. There are accidents on set, the tree in the village square topples over, and worst of all, a body is found with a sprig of holly draped over it. If Marlee can’t wrap up the case, she may not have a berry merry Christmas . . . Includes Berry Recipes!

In the 1990s Toronto had a series of high profile murders involving women. At the top of the list was Paul Bernardo for reasons which require no explanation here, and, after Bernardo and his now free ex-wife, Karla Holmoka, there was Robert Baltovich, accused of murdering his then girlfriend, Elizabeth Bain. He served nine years in prison and another eight on parole before he was acquitted of the murder. He is now seeking compensation of 13 million dollars in a malicious prosecution lawsuit. Between these two murders, Baltovich being the first and Bernardo in custody awaiting trial, was the Gilbert Ho case.The victim was a beautiful young Russian woman named Elena Tchoudakova, twenty-three years old and attending Ryerson University's Interior Design program. The murder was brutal.Gilbert Ho was convicted in a largely circumstantial case. The Ontario Court of Appeal upheld the conviction despite delaying their decision for seven months. Gilbert has maintained his innocence from the time he was convicted.The Association in Defence of the Wrongfully Convicted (AIDWYC) has been looking at the case for well over a decade, which is how I came to the case and the ability to tell this story. Gilbert granted me the right to access his case, and he very graciously gave of his time and answered endless questions on the telephone and in person over the many trips I made to Warkworth Institution, a medium security prison that has been his home since 1996.Because the case against Gilbert is so circumstantial and based on a psychological profile largely invented by the prosecutors, and unsubstantiated by any real witness, there wasn't a lot of investigation to do, only a walk through the case -- some five boxes of material -- and talking to anyone involved with the case who would talk with me. The police, the prosecutors, and Gilbert's trial lawyer, Bruce Durno all refused to speak with me, though Durno did ask for a list of questions, which I refused. Many of the people who knew Elena spoke with me.The book walks through the case in all its stages: the story, the investigation, the jail system, the trial, and the appeal. It is my belief that Gilbert Ho is innocent of the murder of Elena Tchoudakova. Many in the wrongful conviction community share my belief. However, it remains highly unlikely Gilbert will ever bee exonerated. The reasons are made clear in the story.
