Cozy Mystery Tree Lovers…

November 5, 2013

Here’s another question from a Cozy Mystery reader. Cheryl asks:

I am trying to find the title of  book I read a few years ago involving a mom and teenage son. The son was “living” in a tree as a tree hugger – helping out for someone else to try to save this tree from being cut down. A body was discovered not far away from this tree. His mother discovered a Petosky stone near the body and knew that the killer was from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan or had visited there, as that is the only place the stone is found.
Thank you,
Cheryl

I have to admit that this doesn’t sound at all familiar to me. (Of course, usually as soon as I say something like that, it will predestine that the author be one of my favorites!) If any of you think you might know the title of this tree, please post a comment.   Thank you!

    I think the book is Death Climbs a Tree by Sara Hoskinson Frommer. The heroine of the series is an orchestra manager in a small Indiana town.

      Thank you PlumGaga and all others who gave me the title to book I was looking for – Death Climbs a Tree. That gave me my introduction to Petosky stones. I have read more by this author but couldn’t remember this book or author! Just found the blog site. Had computer problems last fall and then an extremely hectic year. And found another copy of the book to buy after reading the answers in this blog site. So, thank you to everyone who took the time to help!!
      It is greatly appreciated!

    Sara Hoskinson Frommer
    It looks like “Death Climbs A Tree” is #6 in a series

    I was also going to offer Frommer as the author. She has a new book out which is very good and is part of the series.

      Regina, I just love it when people can find the name of an author for someone who wants to re-connect with him/her.

    reginav, I discovered the new book — the first since 2005 — when I was verifying Frommer’s name. I downloaded it and am very much enjoying it.
