A Winter Town ~ Paperback ~ Barb Bissonette

Welcome to Coopers Detection Agency: "No job too big. No detection too small." It's been one year since the body of a sixteen-year-old boy was found in the woods. It was just a few days past Halloween, when the snows came too early and covered up any evidence that might have been. But the boy's parents insist that their child was murdered-even though no weapon was found and there didn't seem to be any motive. Promising a hefty payment, the parents have hired Coopers Detection Agency. Now all Lucas Cooper has to do is convince his sister and partner, Gillian, to spend five weeks in the bitter cold in a remote town in Northern Ontario. To Gillian it all seems rather routine, dull in fact, and certainly nothing to be apprehensive about-until she discovers that all is not as it appears. As a child, Barb Bissonette's notebook was always at hand, ready to record her inspirations, which often took the forms of poems or short stories. As an adult, her desire to write a mystery took time to manifest while she pondered the hidden complexities of crime. The result? A Winter Town. Bissonette, the author of Among Little Faces, is currently at work on her next book, Just a Bit of Magic. She lives in Washago, Ontario, where she divides her time between working as a registered nurse, writing, and taking care of her three grandchildren.
