<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Deborah Strong enrolls in a library history program, and her project for the week plunges her into a researcher's delight of a mystery. As she unravels the clues, she must confront an event from her own past to solve the puzzle.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>After a winter when she solved the cold case of a high school friend found dead in <em>The Barn</em>, Deborah Strong needs a distraction. She joins a conference entitled "Libraries: Where Have We Been, Where Are We Going?" that will be useful for her work as a librarian in the small town of Shelby. The setting at a picturesque college in New Hampshire should also be healing. </p><p>Deborah's project for the week plunges her into a mystery that would delight most researchers. What are the connections between a Bible dubbed "The Wicked Bible," a woman called "The Wickedest Woman in New York," a book written by Abigail Brewster, and a letter penned to this nineteenth-century author? As she slowly unravels the connections, Deborah confronts an event from her own past and anticipates a future that could be as brilliant as New Hampshire's September foliage.</p><p>The second in the Deborah Strong series cleverly connects to the research Deborah's friend Susan Warner discovered about Abigail Brewster in Dean's <em>Death of the Keynote Speaker.</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Praise for <em>The Barn</em>, Book One in the Deborah Strong Mysteries: </strong></p><p><br></p><p>"Starting a new series with a new protagonist is a difficult undertaking, but Sharon Dean brings this off with aplomb."</p><p>-Michael Niemann, award-winning author</p><p><br></p><p>"Quiet, but quite deadly... captures the New England vibe with an economy of words, wealth of detail and crisp characterizations."</p><p>-Carole Beers, author of the Pepper Kane Mysteries</p><p><br></p><p>"A fascinating yarn about past events coming to roost in the present. As always, Dean's sense of place and vivid and compelling characters blend together to provide the reader with an intriguing look at life in her native New England. Highly recommended!"</p><p>-Clive Rosengren, author of the Eddie Collins Mysteries</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Critical acclaim for Sharon L. Dean: </strong></p><p><br></p><p>"An academic mystery that rivals those of Amanda Cross and Dorothy Sayers.... Dean's remarkably detailed knowledge of American literature, and of the history that underlies it, provides a riveting base on which Susan Warner constructs a plausible theory regarding the real-life 19th century 'Smuttynose Murders'."</p><p>-Judith Stanford, Ph.D., on <em>Death of the Keynote Speaker</em></p><p><br></p><p>"An enticing blend of history and imagination, <em>Death of the Keynote Speaker</em><strong><em> </em></strong>has the feel of Stephen King's <em>The Shining....</em> A literary puzzle adds to the intrigue. Emotions and attitudes suppressed for years are laid bare. Everyone is suspected, and no one is spared."</p><p>-Alan Thompson, author of <em>Nimrod's Tower</em></p><br>
