Betty Ann Harris takes her readers on a fun and fascinating journey centered around a portrait of Prudence's great aunt. It just happens that the lady in the portrait bears a striking resemblance to the heroine Prudence. Amid plans for a grand gala and a reenactment of an event that should have taken place, but never did due to an untimely death, Prudence and Dylan arrive late to the party only to discover a ghostly apparition may have stolen the limelight. A delightful read.

EDITORIAL REVIEW
S. Peters-Davis Book Review for: The 69th Parallel Incident by H. Paul Doucette
This is the first Jesse Thompson Cold War suspense novel that I’ve read, and I wasn’t disappointed. Many characters were introduced and became involved in Jesse’s pursuit of the culprit. Action-packed and interesting facts about the Canadian people and areas involved, this historical suspense mystery moved right along and was a fascinating story. I look forward to reading the next Jesse Thompson mystery by H. Paul Doucette.
