"Not only is The Body in the Sleigh, a gripping whodfunit, but it's a classic tale of hope. Katherine Hall Page is my favorite writer of the traditional mystery." - Harlan Coben

Katherine's cookbook, Have Faith in Your Kitchen, will be out in September from Orchises Press.

Katherine is putting the finishing touches on The Body in the Gazebo (Morrow 2011), a tale of family secrets.

In Agatha-winner Page's delightful 18th Faith Fairchild mystery (after 2008's The Body in the Gallery), Faith and her family get away to their cottage on Sanpere Island in Maine's Penobscot Bay for the Christmas season. Tranquility reigns only briefly before Faith finds a young girl's body tucked among the mannequins in a local holiday display. If this wasn't enough to keep Faith busy, she receives a Christmas Eve call from reclusive goat farmer Mary Bethany, who's discovered a babe in her manger-a newborn boy inside her barn, along with a puzzling note and a serious bankroll. When Mary determines to keep the baby safe and Faith attempts to locate the birth mother, both women end up in peril. Amid the holiday festivities, Faith wears the hats of good wife and mother while slipping into her sleuth cap at every opportunity. Her investigative work builds to an exciting conclusion. Faith's kitchen skills result in some wonderful recipes listed at the end. (Nov.)
