A barn with a wooden cow's head peeking out of the loft... Two girls bicycling on a September day in 1990... The friend they find dead in the barn... For the next thirty years, the case of Joseph Wheeler's murder lies as cold as a New Hampshire winter. Deborah Strong has settled in the town she grew up in, learning to heal after her friend's murder, and later, the deaths of her husband and child in an automobile accident. When her former best friend Rachel Cummings returns home for the funeral of Joseph's mother, the precarious peace Deborah has found as the town's librarian is threatened. Against the backdrop of the beautiful but cold New Hampshire landscape in January, Deborah and Rachel reopen the cold case of their murdered friend, and uncover secrets about their neighbors that have festered for thirty years, as they often do in small towns. The Barn is a story of friendship lost and recovered, of secrets buried and revealed, and of the power in forgiving others... and ourselves.

Industry Reviews

"Starting a new series with a new protagonist is a difficult undertaking, but Sharon Dean brings this off with aplomb."

-Michael Niemann, Award-winning International Thriller Writer

"Quiet, but quite deadly. This book captures the New England vibe with an economy of words, a wealth of detail, and crisp characterizations."

-Carole Beers, Author of the Pepper Kane Mysteries

"A fascinating yarn about past events coming to roost in the present. As always, Dean's sense of place and vivid and compelling characters blend together to provide the reader with an intriguing look at life in her native New England. Highly recommended!"

-Clive Rosengren, Author of Eddie Collins Mysteries
