The Body in the Web
(Now in Trade Paperback)
Set against the pandemic as a backdrop, this was a hard book to write. Starred reviews from Library Journal plus the one from Bolo Books and the interview with Barbara Peters (Poisoned Pen) in the links below were validating, but your comments here and on FB have been best of all. Shared experiences expressed echo the book's theme: We Were—and Are—All In This Together.

Thank you,
Katherine

The Body in the Web

Set against the pandemic as a backdrop, the book begins on a sunny winter afternoon in mid January 2021 as Faith is reflecting back over life since March 2020.

But shortly after, Aleford is caught up in a Zoombombing incident at a public meeting that eventually turns deadly. It’s up to Faith to solve the crime while hampered by Covid protocols. Whip up a loaf of her recipe for Beer Bread—developed when no yeast was available on the shelves—and catch up with the Fairchild family and friends, a story of resilience and hope.

"The twenty-five mysteries that Katherine Hall Page has cooked up for her sleuth, Faith Fairchild, make for delectable reading. What a body of work! Dig in." -- Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked

"Katherine Hall Page is my favorite writer of the traditional mystery." - Harlan Coben

Katherine was honored with the 2022 Maine Writers and Publishers Crime Master Award!
