Book Description

February 2003 Beeler Large Print Mystery Series
Sight
Unseen

A Christmas sojourn to the scenic Swedish-American community of Bishop Hill serves as both a belated honeymoon for Indiana newlyweds Joan Spencer and husband, Lieutenant Fred Lundquist--and a chance for Fred to check up on his mother, Helga, whose battle with Alzheimer's is beginning to take its toll on the family.

For Joan, meeting her spirited mother-in-law turns out to be murder, literally, when the body of a local man is found in the snow and a terrified Mrs. Lundquist appears to have witnessed the vicious crime when she wandered off during one of her "bad" days. Too disoriented to clearly identify the killer, Helga is nonetheless too big a threat for the murderer to leave alone. With Helga's life in danger, Joan races to sort out which secrets are worth killing for in this peaceful hamlet.

5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely loved this book!, August 13, 2011
This review is from: Witness in Bishop Hill (Beeler Large Print Mystery Series) (Hardcover)
Three months after their marriage, Joan Spenser and police lieutenant Fred Lundquist are finally going to visit Fred's parents in Bishop Hill, Illinois. Not a traditional honeymoon perhaps, but after Fred's mother (an Alzheimer's sufferer) witnesses a murder, it goes completely upside down. Though it is obviously a local, Fred's mother cannot remember who the murderer was. What's worse is that the murderer does not like the idea of a living witness, so it is up to Joan and Fred to protect Helga, preferably by finding the murderer.

I must say that I absolutely loved this book! The author does an excellent job of capturing Bishop Hill and its Swedish traditions. The characters are wonderfully two-dimensional, and I think that she did a wonderful job of sympathetically portraying a family working with an Alzheimer's sufferer. Plus, the story is gripping and believable, with detectives who are human and quite believable.

Am I gushing about this book? You bet! This is a great book, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good cozy mystery, April 14, 2008

Loved the characters, loved the setting. A good book to read with a cup of tea and an afternoon free. The Joan Spencer mysteries are well written and for cozies have more depth that some. If you've read some earlier books in this series, you know that Joan and Fred are finally married. They go to Fred's hometown of Bishop Hill to stay with Fred's mother (who has dementia) and dad while his sister and husband go on vacation. Fred's mother goes missing and when they find her she has found a dead body. The killer thinks she saw him and so they end up looking for the killer as well as trying to protect Helga from him. That's all I'm going to tell you. I enjoyed this book very much.
