The characters have such depth, the stories are unique, and they keep your attention from start to finish. T. R. Williams Hampshire, England, 2006: I should've known not to visit Nigel Steadman; trouble followed him closer than his shadow. But I'd finally made it all the way to Dublin, and it seemed a shame not to hop across the Irish Sea to see my old friend. Besides, he'd always said for me to come stay with him in London. It wasn't till I called from Dublin that I learned he'd moved to the New Forest in the south of England. Goodbye London before I ever met you-and hello heartache. That's where Nigel roped me into doing some undercover work checking out the Ownbey gang he was trying to trick into telling the truth. But as you can imagine, things didn't go the way we'd planned. Gunslingers, kidnappers, and thieves highjacked my vacation and turned it into a nightmare. So here I am in a makeshift jail, and it feels like I'll never see Fiona and the boys again. And if the bad guys have their way, I won't! Even when my best friend Della Kincaid flies over to help, she can't do much. I'm in so deep, she doesn't know where to look for me. Time to pray. Abit Bradshaw You'll enjoy this suspenseful mystery because who hasn't tried to do the right thing-only to have it all go wrong? If you love Elly Griffiths, Sue Grafton, and William Kent Krueger, you're sure to enjoy the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series. Get it now-for the rich natural setting, colorful characters, and suspenseful investigations. Deep in the Forest is the fifth book-and a standalone novel-in the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series by award-winning author Lynda McDaniel. Interview with the Author
Q: Where does Deep in the Forest pick up in the lives of Abit Bradshaw and Della Kincaid?
A: It's a year after the last scenes in Murder Ballad Blues. I've taken Abit Bradshaw and his family to Ireland and England. Appalachia has such strong ties to both countries, and of course his wife, Fiona, is from Clifden, Ireland. Things go smoothly while he's in Ireland, but it's when he heads to England to visit with Nigel Steadman that his troubles begin. It's quite a wild ride that changes him in profound ways. Q: What's new in the series?
A: Well, of course, the setting is quite different. I spent some happy times in the New Forest in Hampshire, England, and I had fun revisiting it in my mind's eye. (I had planned to do research in person, but the pandemic put the kibosh on that!). A young boy by the name of Baldy (short for Archibald) is my favorite new character. He makes a big impression on Abit and experiences a major arc by the end of the book. Q: Why should readers give this series a try?
A: Because these are serious mysteries without over-the-top violence. And readers tell me the character development makes them eager to read more: a pair of unforgettable crime-solving characters, one reader shared, and another wrote, I became intrigued by and attached to the characters-Della, Abit, Alex, even the dog, the villagers and their dialogue. Q: In what order was this series written?
A: Deep in the Forest is a standalone, so readers won't be confused if they start with this book. Actually, I worked to make all the books in the series easy to understand, wherever readers start the series. The other four books in order written: A Life for a Life, The Roads to Damascus, Welcome the Little Children, Murder Ballad Blues, Up the Creek, Unwrapped, and Waiting for You (free prequel).
