Suspense, scandal and betrayal are the cornerstones of Louise Gaylord’s newest release “Sutton Place,” a prequel to the third novel of the “Julia Fairchild” series.

“Sutton Place” (August 27, 2013, Little Moose Press) details the horrific events of Julia’s teen years—events deeply buried in her psyche.

After quickly rising through the ranks at a prestigious New York hospital and becoming the object of a prominent physician’s affections, Julia’s painful memories slowly return. When a weekend tryst at a ski lodge turns into a complete disaster, there seems to be only one answer to Julia’s dilemma—escape.

Julia packs her bags and moves 2,000 miles away to a small town in New Mexico where she attempts to grapple with her past and rebuild her life.

Bust just as things are looking up, Julia is called back to New York and heartbreaking tragedy.

Gaylord’s stories whisk readers out of their reality and plunge them fully into the ones she creates. Best known for her numerous Allie Armington mysteries, Gaylord also has a series of novels to her credit and a charming recipe book, which round her out of a multi-genre writer. She has won many national book awards and garners praise from literary critics and readers alike.

“These are the novels to buy, read, love and give to dear friends. Louise Gaylord combines suspense, romance, exotic locales and heart-stopping excitement as well as any writer on the planet. You will adore her books,” says Michael Levin, New York Times best-selling author.

Louise Gaylord: Biography

Louise Gaylord is an acclaimed national award-winning author who established herself with her very first book, a suspenseful murder mystery centering on a young, sharp female assistant district attorney. This was the cornerstone of what has become her popular Allie Armington mystery series, the idea for it sparked when Louise herself spent three months on a grand jury panel.

The series has grown to four novels, with stories ranging from the Southwest (“Anacacho” and “Spa Deadly”) to New York (“Xs”), to the most recent (“Dark Lake”) featuring her beloved Adirondacks.

In the middle of establishing her mystery writer credentials, she expanded out of the genre with an insightful character study novel, “Julia Fairchild,” and then the delightful “Recipes from Camp Trillium.” The cookbook features worldwide recipes from Louise’s family and guests during years they visited her in New York’s Adirondack Mountains.

Her first Allie Armington Mystery, “Anacacho,” won the 2003 National Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Mystery/Suspense sponsored by Publisher’s Marketing Association in Los Angeles. The San Francisco Book Festival awarded Louise with best audio book in 2010 for “Spa Deadly.” “Recipes from Camp Trillium” won the Dan Poynter’s Global eBook Awards, in which “Julia Fairchild” and “Spa Deadly” were also finalists. And most recently, “Dark Lake” was recognized in the General Fiction category of the Los Angeles Book Festival.

Louise’s newest book, “Sutton Place,” will was published August 27, 2013, by Little Moose Press, Beverly Hills, California.

Louise lives in Houston, Texas, though she might be found writing almost anywhere in the world.

She moves to New Mexico where she gets a new job, new condo, and new friends. But evil lurks in the form of her stalker and he will stop at nothing to make Julia his. This suspenseful story shows a family that is almost crippled by it's secrets. Not everything is as the family thinks and they find that secrets will cause a lot of serious issues. The Fairchild family suffers a lot of loss and if the deranged stalker has his way there will be more. A definite page turner that is not to be missed. I enjoyed this book a lot and I intend to read more of this authors work.
