Absolutely loved this book!! This is what a true cozy mystery is all about. Rose and Megan are sterling characters whose strong personalities just carry every exciting chapter in this book. Misty Manor is an architectural dream that just begs to be visited and explored. The mystery was a real page turner. If you’re looking for an exciting, well written, mystery you can really lose yourself in, this is the book for you. Solid 5+ stars. -Amazon Review
Misty Manor

About the Author
Linda Rawlins
Author of Misty Point Mystery Series and Rocky Meadow Mystery Series. 2020/2019 President of Sisters in Crime – CJ as well as active member of Mystery Writers of America.
As a child, I loved to read, whenever and whatever I could get my hands on. I started to write my own “Nancy Drew” type mystery in fifth grade. As a student, I studied Biology in Vermont, Sciences and Literature in college and eventually became a physician. I enjoy writing mysteries that contain medical and light spiritual content. Either way, a good murder mystery is always fun.

My very first book, The Bench, is set in the fictional town of Rocky Meadow, VT. The Rocky Meadow Mystery series then continues with Fatal Breach. Dr. Amy Daniels is a former trauma surgeon from Boston who moves to Rocky Meadow, VT to escape family tragedy. There she meets, Father Michael Lauretta, the psychologist pastor of St. Francis church and Rocky Meadow Retreat Center. Together, they solve mysteries with the help of Katie, the church cook, Willow, a teenage millionaire and Father Victor, visiting priest from Chicago. In Fatal Breach, the characters become involved with a murder at a local soup kitchen. In Book 3 – Sacred Gold, they chase a gold treasure hidden in the catacombs of the church.
Midnight Shift – my standalone medical, paranormal, mystery suspense thriller. (Hopefully to become a series)
While solving crimes, the main characters of my books deal with life, loss, starting over and developing an appreciation for the friends and loved ones in their lives.
