THE BODY IN THE WAKE BY KATHERINE HALL PAGE

    
   It's time for a celebration - indeed it is!  One of Katherine Hall Page's riveting Faith Fairchild mysteries is always signaled by lines at book stores and online orders and her twenty-fifth tale is no different (simply more intriguing if that is possible.)

    The Body In The Wake finds Faith luxuriating in the warm, sunny weather at her summer cottage in Penobscot Bay, Maine.  As if that weren't enough she also has time for herself for the first time in ages.  Her husband Tom has secreted himself in a pal's empty house across the way in order to finish a book.  Her son is employed by his professor in Rhode Island, and her daughter is up to her elbows in a summer job at Sanpere Shores.  At last Faith is able to see to some of her own projects - don't believe it!

     Kind-hearted Faith is distracted by her friend Sophie who is worried because she isn't pregnant yet. And she needs to help plan the wedding of her friend Pix's daughter.  But at this point Faith is shocked to find a body in the lily pond - not just any body but one with a puzzling tattoo.  Any thoughts of Faith's own projects fly out the window.

     Congratulations to Katherine Hall Page on her 25th anniversary (so to speak) and terrific reading for us!
