Wyman Falls Mysteries by Robert M. Chute
Get caught up in the lives of a small Maine town with three books set after World War II. Start with Coming Home where, Jim Johnson returns from World War II to mysteries involving family and friends. Johnson's return is filled with surprises—a body hidden in a garment bag in an empty cabin, his deceased father's association with bootleggers and his childhood friend, Joan Chaplin, now married but with an absent husband. In Return to Sender, Melonie Janus travels to Wyman Falls to investigate the death of her brother among the odd characters of the remote Maine town. Finally, in Roadside Rest, the mystery unfolds as a fellow from West Virginia comes to town with a deed to property owned by Willis Wyman and James Johnson. The West Virginian goes missing. There are more questions than answers in an investigation that includes quirky town characters. Meanwhile Jim Johnson is missing in action from Korea.

What our Customers say

Nancy E. Randolph, JWB owner, markets my titles on a wide scale. She also sets up book signings. I find it infinitely more enjoyable and rewarding to work with this Maine-based publisher than to deal with national publishers from out-of-state.
Finally, JWB does not publish just any aspiring author. Randolph is very selective, accepting only material that she is convinced will sell. I highly recommend JWB to any author.
