Her Deadly Reunion by Beth Ann Ziarknik

Amazon best-selling author of Her Deadly Inheritance, Beth Ann Ziarnik, is back with another romantic suspense. This is the sequel that I’ve been waiting for! Jill Shepherd is to meet her father for the first time at the Gates Mansion in Wisconsin. (Which in our real world is the Pabst Mansion from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.) Clay Merrick, the hero, has his own struggles, so my question to you is—will he be there when the heroine needs him most? Jill faces extreme rejection from those in the household as well as welcomed love and acceptance from her father. Someone tips her off that her father’s illness may be caused by poisoning. Jill and Clay investigate all who have visited her father recently in order to find any possible mysterious murderer—before it is too late. Yet no one seems to be a likely suspect. I enjoyed this read and do recommend this novel. If you have not read Her Deadly Inheritance, I suggest that you begin with that novel and read this one next!
 
QUESTIONS FOR BETH ANN:
​
When a historic home is used in story I feel that adds pizzazz, immediately. How did you come to the decision of using the Pabst Mansion instead of any other?
I had looked at a book about mansions in Wisconsin and liked the Pabst Mansion in Milwaukee. I knew that Jill’s father lived in Milwaukee, though she didn’t. Oshkosh Senior Center sponsored a bus tour, which included this mansion and I attended. A bocent, who is a trained guided tour specialist, was assigned specifically to me to show me all the nooks and crannies of this mansion in case I could use those areas in the novel. They were so excited about Pabst Mansion being used for a story setting.
 
Do you have a favorite room in that mansion?
If I had to choose one it would be Captain Pabst’s study, which has four German proverbs painted into the design of the ceiling area that are meant to encourage people. I chose one of those sayings and included it in the story. This room had 14 secret compartments! ( Beth told me more about this grand place and I plan to Google it later to look up how special and interesting this mansion is.)
 
Which of Jill’s half sisters did you enjoy writing the most?
They were both interesting to write. I really enjoyed Lilly and how she developed. That she became one of the pivotal secondary characters was a total surprise to me.
 
What is a message woven into this story that you wish your readers to benefit from?
The message that love covers a multitude of sins, I Peter 4:8. We need God’s love to cover the wrongs we’ve done. The characters in this novel had to come to this place in one form or another. They also had to forgive one another.
 
Will there be another book for Jill and Clay?
Yes, I’m already writing Her Deadly Vows.
