| THE WRITE PAGE Our puppy, Pirate, loves to walk during daylight hours, but in the evening, with temperatures already dipping into the teens, seated in front of a roaring fire, he nestles next to me and allows me time to turn the pages of many magical stories. Living in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes and 20,000 (?) mysteries, I always have a Minnesota author open and this month I’ve enjoyed: William Kent Krueger’s “Fox Creek” The latest in the New York Times bestselling Cork O’Connor Mystery Series follows Cork in a race against time to save his wife, a mysterious stranger, and an Ojibwe healer from bloodthirsty mercenaries. Laura Childs’ “Twisted Tea Christmas” An attack on the host of a fancy tea party sends Theodosia Browning looking for answers in the latest entry in the New York Times bestselling series. John Gaspard’s “Acting Can Be Murder” The Phrase “Dying On Stage” takes on a whole new meaning. Kyle Mills’ “Oath of Loyalty” #21 Mitch Rapp confronts a very different kind of killer in the explosive new thriller in Vince Flynn’s number one New York Times best-selling series, written by Kyle Mills. And I also enjoyed Jennifer J Morgan’s “Shadowed Treasures” Libby and friends load up their RVs and caravan to Utah where they meet 95-year-old Eugene Walker and his third wife, 85-year-old Agatha. The group cannot help but admire the infectious energy and spunk of this quirky pair as they dance the night away. But when Eugene suddenly goes missing, things get complicated, and Libby struggles to figure out how it’s all connected; this vacation has become a whole new adventure for Libby and Shadow.
