It’s not that it’s so easy to say “yes”, it’s just always too hard to say “no”.

When a phone rings, you answer it. When your sister invites you to a super deluxe spa getaway, you say “sure”. When your boyfriend tells you he’ll miss you, you swoon.

You have that phone because you want people to call you. You have that sister because she takes care of you and you take care of her and it’s always both and never neither. You have that boyfriend because he makes you realize that your present has a future.

And you let all the world come into your life because it fulfills you and it surprises you and it keeps you alive. Except sometimes the opposite is true. Sometimes all the innocent acts and good intentions and happy expectations lead not to life but to death. To murder.

Whether you’re a Julia Childs or just a child when it comes to cooking, you will find taste treats you can manage in Recipes from Camp Trillium. Louise Gaylord collected these gems over the years of entertaining at her family’s summer home, Camp Trillium, in New York’s Adirondack Mountains. Each one meets the challenge of being easy-to prepare from ingredients easily found in the most mundane market.

Allie Armington’s Back. Trouble’s Right Behind Her.

This time she’s in the Adirondacks, and it’s really personal.
A long time ago Allie was summarily ordered away from her extended family’s summer enclave. Her return is nothing like what she expected. Instead of the tranquil retreat she remembers, the place is a murder site. From the very beginning she’s confronted with everything from cover-ups and corrupted cops to covert meth labs and cousins in distress. Allie really has her hands full

The woman found murdered in Texas’ Anacacho Mountains, her beauty queen looks ruined by carrion birds, is Allie Armington’s ex-best friend. The prime suspect, the victim’s handsome, mega-rich husband, just happened to have once been the love of Allie’s life. Though she hadn’t seen the couple for eight year’s, Allie’s suddenly found herself thigh deep in a Tex/Mex conspiracy involving cattle, oil and drugs… and a handsome sheriff who makes her knees weak whenever he’s around.

But there’s something about him…

Raised in upper-class Manhattan society, she has settled in small-town New Mexico, created a prospering counseling practice and is preparing to marry her love, Mac Brantley, a successful doctor. But everything starts to unravel the day Mac “kidnaps” Julia and flies her to an idyllic wilderness setting for a romantic mid-week picnic. Lightning strikes—literally—and though her injury is minor, everything begins to change.

The trouble started with a call from her sister, a supermodel, in New York City. The next thing she knew, Allie Armington, young, bright, successful and slightly bored Texas attorney, was on a plane to the Big Apple.

It was downhill from there.
