Whirlpool – Lorena McCourtney

Search in York County Library System

Stefanie Canfield has had a rough year. Her husband, Hunter, had an extra-marital affair, flaunting his mistress for the whole town to see. Then came the difficult divorce. And the Julesburg gossips have made the most of all the juicy details for months. Worst of all when the mill she and Hunter still own together is destroyed by fire, Stefanie becomes a suspect. But Ryan, the arson investigator from out of town, turns out to be her friend from childhood, and the renewed friendship is a blessing during the dark days that follow. Before long both are caught up in a dark frenzy of murder and intrigue when Hunter's mistress is killed. Stefanie's faith sustains her through accusations of arson and murder and, finally, a frightening confrontation with the killer.
