Amazon best-selling author of Her Deadly Inheritance, Beth Ann Ziarnik, is back with another
romantic suspense. This is the sequel that I’ve been waiting for! Jill Shepherd
is to meet her father for the first time at the Gates Mansion in Wisconsin. (Which
in our real world is the Pabst Mansion from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.) Clay Merrick,
the hero, has his own struggles, so my question to you is—will he be there when
the heroine needs him most?
Jill faces extreme rejection from those in the
household as well as welcomed love from her father. Someone tips her off that
her father’s illness may be caused by poisoning. Jill and Clay investigate all
who have visited her father recently in order to find any possible mysterious
murderer—before it is too late. Yet no one seems to be a likely suspect. I
enjoyed this read and do recommend this novel. If you have not read Her Deadly Inheritance, I suggest that
you begin with that novel and read this one next!
When a historic home is used in story
I feel that adds pizzazz immediately. How did you come to the decision of using
the Pabst Mansion instead of any other?
I
had looked at a book about mansions in Wisconson and liked the Pabst Mansion in
Milwakee. I knew that Jill’s father lived in Milwaukee, though she didn’t. Oshkosh
Senior Center sponsored a bus tour, which included this mansion and I attended.
A bocent, who is a trained guided tour specialist, was assigned specifically to
me to show me all the nooks and crannies of this mansion in case I could use
those areas in the novel. They were so excited about Pabst Mansion being used
for a story setting.
QUESTIONS FOR BETH:
Do you have a favorite room in that
mansion?
If
I had to choose one it would be Captain Pabst’s study, which has four German
proverbs painted into the design of the ceiling area that are meant to
encourage people. I chose one of those sayings and included it in the story. This
room had 14 secret compartments!
Which of Jill’s half sisters did you
enjoy writing the most?
They
were both interesting to write. I really enjoyed Lilly and how she developed.
That she became one of the pivotal secondary characters was a total surprise to
me.
What is a message woven into this
story that you wish your readers to benefit from?
The
message that love covers a multitude of sins, I Peter 4:8. We need God’s love
to cover the wrongs we’ve done. The characters in this novel had to come to
this place in one form or another. They also had to forgive one another.
Will there be another book for Jill
and Clay?
Yes,
I’m already writing Her Deadly Vows.
How can your readers reach you?
Beth’s other social media is listed
on that website. Thank you Beth Ann for a wonderful read and interview! I look
forward to book three! I will watch for it!
