The forests of upper Bucks County are the setting for Stalker In The Woods, the second title in the Hattie Farwell mystery series by Upper Bucks County author Betty Kerr Orlemann. It follows Betty’s first novel in the series, Mission: Murder, which won a coveted Silver Medal for Best Regional Fiction from the prestigious Independent Publisher (“IPPY”) Annual Book Awards for 2008 – an impressive debut for a first-time author.

That first book explained how protagonist Hattie Farwell—Orlemann’s alter-ego, who also lives in the Bucks County woods—came to solve her first murder mystery, with the aid of her sidekick and constant companion, Wolf, a huge Irish Wolfhound hybrid.

This second book in the series follows Hattie and Wolf as they first meet, befriend and ultimately protect a young family that’s just moved into the new development built on land Hattie was forced to sell when financial hardship loomed.

“Sadly, it’s a story not unlike what’s happening to many Americans today,” says Orlemann. “Only this one has a twist!”

For anyone who enjoys “cozy” mysteries, Hattie Farwell and Wolf will be welcome additions to the ever-expanding cast of literary characters working through puzzling acts of crime.
