About this ebook

A quiet country road

A desperate search

A missing man

A promise

At an isolated farmhouse, Edie Doyle stumbles upon a gravely injured man. Suddenly she’s neck deep in trouble—again.

When the man begs for help, she can’t refuse, but how can she keep her promise when he disappears before she even learns his name?

The police don’t believe her, the surly farmer doesn’t want her help, and the only witness isn’t talking. Can she find the missing man before it’s too late, and before anyone else gets hurt?

Her search will take her beyond the sun-drenched fields into dark woods—and even darker shadows—but Edie will keep her promise.

Unless someone stops her first. 

Somewhere in a Dark Wood is the second Edie Doyle Mystery. For fans of golden age mysteries and small town cozies. 

Don’t miss the first book in the series, Too Far to Fall.

Ratings and reviews

Thoroughly enjoyed this second installment in the series. It's difficult to find the balance between complex character interactions and storyline intrigue, and this author walks this line with practiced ease. I was never tempted to skim ahead to see what's coming next nor breeze thru the action. Inpatient to discover the outcomes for our beloved characters. Thank you for a fun and engaging read.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The main character, while not exactly shiny, has a good heart. The story is well-written, well-paced and the characters are varied and not one-dimensional. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

I read the first book and enjoyed it a lot. This 2nd book is also intriguing, enjoyable and interesting in thr basic storyline too. Well rounded.
