Into the Woods

The next part of the series praised as "a sexy, grownup Hardy Boys lost in Twin Peaks territory" brings MORE FUNNY! MORE DRAMA! AND OF COURSE, MORE MYSTERY!

Crime-solving couple Officer Lewis "Queenie" McQueen and Deputy Medical Examiner Dr. Dale Clark have one week left in their homophobic hometown of Egypt, Oregon before packing up their son and their lives for the Big City. When a local university student who was forcibly outed on social media is found buried in the freshly poured foundation of the future campus library, Dale and Queenie drop everything for duty. Hate crime, crime of passion, or something totally unexpected?

In the first part of mystery/romantic comedy series Northwest Passage Mysteries' inaugural arc, "The Mystery of Love," Dale and Queenie think they finally unmask "whodunit," but trying to piece together "howdunit" reveals not everything about the case is as neatly wrapped up as they thought. Dale's autopsy of the victim reveals more questions to be answered. That is, if necrophobic (that's fear of dead things) Queenie survives the experience and Dale's post-autopsy flirtation involving Queenie's police baton and Dale's tongue depressors.

Praised by advance readers as "a sexy, grownup Hardy Boys lost in Twin Peaks territory" and "gives you a reading while camping feel, cozy, mysterious, and chock full of adventure."

Join Dale and Queenie as they unravel if love truly a greater mystery than death in this second trip through the mysterious Northwest Passage.
