Featured Book: Juckets and Swamp Yankees by Joyce Walsh
Book One and Two in ‘The Pittsley County Chronicles-Trilogy’
In Juckets, the story begins with the disappearance of the little Bradburn girl the day before a blizzard. The entire town turns out to search for her, but what they do not know (and will not know until the following Spring) is that she was brutally murdered. Psychology professor, Julia Arnault, discovers the body in Pittsley Woods. As she pursues the investigation, she begins to fear that the man she is in love with may be a serial killer. Meanwhile, veterinarian Adam Sabeski leads Julia into a Deliverance-like world of backwoods New England to find both evil and humanity in unexpected ways.
Swamp Yankees, the sequel to Juckets, is the second volume of The Pittsley Chronicles-the fictional New England setting comparable to Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County. While Adam Sabeski is engaged in preventing his Swamp Yankee friend, Cutter, from seceding from the rural town of Pittsley and bringing the entire government down on his head, psychologist Julia Arnault is trying to solve a 20-year-old murder. Desperate to help her suicidal patient, Julia steps outside the boundaries of her office to investigate her patient's history, thereby defying her supervisor, risking her job, clashing with Adam, and jeopardizing her own life.
