The Deepest Water

Product Description Considered "one of the masters of psychological fiction in America" (San Francisco Chronicle), Kate Wilhelm serves up an irresistably chilling puzzle that will keep readers captivated until the very end.When Jud Connors, a successful writer, is found murdered in his isolated cabin in the woods of Oregon, his daughter Abby's world starts to fall apart. Who wanted her father dead and why? More puzzling is how anyone could have gotten to the cabin undetected. Was the murderer someone Jud knew? As Abby embarks on her own investigation, she soon realizes that the clue to the murderer's identity is buried in her father's latest novel, finished just weeks before his death. But will she be able to see through the fiction in time -- before the killer comes after her?

Her characters are sensitively and believably crafted and her plots are taut, compelling, and insightful. --Library JournalWilhelm demonstrates once again her sure understanding of human nature and her ability to wring more suspense from emotional violence than the physical variety. San Diego Union-Tribune The star of the book, strangely, is the cabin itself, a perversely menacing version of a Thomas Kincaid painting and a deliciously eerie setting for the mystery and murder, beckoning the reader to step inside.
