  Welcome to Whispering Pines, Wisconsin. A place for those who don’t belong. 
    
  Sixteen years after a family feud drove her from the cozy Northwoods village of Whispering Pines, Wisconsin, former detective Jayne O'Shea returns to prepare her grandparents' lake house for sale. Once there, not only does she find that the house has been trashed, her dog discovers a dead body in the backyard. Jayne intends to stay out of it, but when it becomes obvious the sheriff isn't interested in investigating the death, 
  Jayne can't stop herself. Her list of suspects grows faster than the plants in the commons' pentacle garden. Could it be the local Wiccan green witch with her stash of deadly plants? The shopkeeper who slips into trances and foretells death? The visitor determined to practice black magic? 
  What Jayne knows for sure is that the closer she gets to solving this crime, the more the sheriff wants her to back off. And when a local fortune teller provides a crucial clue, Jayne knows it's up to her to solve this murder.

  After a ‘fixed marriage’ breaks, a custody battle rages between pastors for God’s children. But was the divorce itself ‘in the best interest of the child?’ It’s another ‘street fight on a chessboard’ with The Jury Whisperer and the courtroom war king defending the controversial leader of Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing. 
  ‘All rise’ as temptation itself judges how a Bible Trivia event escalated to physical fights, subliminal threats, lamb-pranks, and even a spiritual restraining order! Will wisdom itself object to public opinion? And will a new parable ‘break the spell’ of an invisible bondage? It’s a whodunit range of Christian Hart, Farah Seas, Nico, Alpha, Smart Alec, Goody Two-Shoes, a ‘fashion police’ judge, and many more.
