Synopsis

Mildred A. Wirt's "Signal in the Dark" is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between youth adventure and the complexities of wartime America. Written in a clear, engaging prose style, Wirt deftly balances fast-paced action with profound insights into the psychological impact of conflict on both the home front and the battlefield. Set against the backdrop of World War II, the narrative captures the tensions of young characters caught in a world dominated by uncertainty, using both thrilling plot twists and rich descriptive detail to pull readers into a palpable atmosphere of suspense and resilience. Mildred A. Wirt, a pioneering figure in children's literature, wrote under various pseudonyms, most notably as one of the original creators of the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories. Her experiences growing up during the Great Depression and her career as a journalist provided Wirt with unique insights into the struggles of adolescence, particularly during times of social upheaval. These elements are woven intimately into "Signal in the Dark," making the characters' challenges and triumphs feel authentic and relatable. For readers seeking an engaging narrative that combines adventure with deeper social commentary, "Signal in the Dark" offers not only entertainment but also a reflection on resilience in the face of adversity. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in historical fiction that resonates with both the heart and the mind.

    The latest novel in this supernatural cozy series from the author of the Witch City Mysteries features a New Englander transplanted to a Florida town along the Gulf of Mexico when she inherits a charming, century-old—and very haunted—inn from a mysterious benefactor. 
     
     
      
    It's June in Haven, Florida, a "between seasons" time in the tourism business, and Maureen's Haven House Inn is feeling the pinch. There are plenty of ghosts in residence, but Maureen needs living guests to pay the bills. 
     
     
      
    Inspired by an old brochure she finds in a trunk she inherited along with the inn from her mysterious benefactor Penelope Josephine Gray, she gets the idea to revive a June fishing tournament from twenty years ago, hoping to reel in anglers who'd love to catch the Gulf Coast's kingfish and take home a trophy. 
     
     
      
    But one fisherman won't make it to the tournament. While walking on the beach with her golden retriever Finn, Maureen discovers a body. When Officer Frank Hubbard arrives, he recognizes local charter boat fisherman Eddie Manuel. 
     
     
      
    Now it's up to Maureen and her spirited sleuths to sort through the red herrings and bait a hook for a killer before someone else ends up sleeping with the fishes . . .
