In Winter's Grip author slides into Saskatoon to read from her new novel

Bestselling Ottawa Writer Reads from New Mystery Novel

2010-11-03

SASKATOON, SK, November 03, 2010 (Press-News.org) Put on a sweater, light the fireplace, and make yourself a cup of tea. Brenda Chapman's new book In Winter's Grip will reach out with icy fingers and take hold of mystery lovers everywhere.

Ontario author Brenda Chapman will be in Saskatoon on Thursday, November 4, chilling listeners with a reading and book signing at the McNally Robinson bookstore. The event begins at 7:30 p.m.

Having grown up in a small town on the north shore of Lake Superior, Chapman knows winter. "I wanted readers to feel the bone-chilling cold and the creeping fear along with Maja Cleary as she left the safety of her home in Ottawa to unravel her father's murder," says Chapman. "The frigid setting of the fictional town in Minnesota in winter fit perfectly with the subject matter - a narcissist and the destruction they wreak on their family, even years after the children have grown and moved away."

In the story, passions and past trespasses are on a collision course as Maja crosses the border to save her brother Jonas from being convicted of their father's homicide - one it turns out that he had every reason to commit. While Maja battles against time, her own demons, and the relentless snow, the murderer prepares to kill again.

Chapman is the author of the popular Jennifer Bannon mystery series for children. In Winter's Grip is her first adult mystery.
