Silence has its consequences.
THE WEIGHT OF SILENCE
A murder raises questions that no one seems eager to answer, and the investigation is soon taken beyond the reach of those determined to solve it. Meanwhile, an influential stranger, a mayor with hidden motives and the discovery of an old journal draw the town into a web of secrets that refuses to remain buried.


Welcome to Lake Pines . . . where secrets run deep, characters have complicated pasts, and the truth is never quite what it seems.

No two stories are the same. Abbott's unique plots keep you turning the pages.
A must read mystery
I received the first book as a gift and loved how the author worked the lives of so many characters into the book, twisting them together until the very end. I am looking forward to the second book!
A Canadian Necessity
A great series, I devoured two books this summer and can't wait for the next book.
An unputdownable book
I was hooked trying to figure out who the killer was until the surprise ending!
An addictive series with layered characters and a twisty plot. Exactly how I love my mysteries.
Abbott's newest Lake Pines Mystery brings together a group of would-be strangers to a remote lodge, in the middle of a snowstorm, for the best reason possible: Murder.
A Canadian treasure!
