Cold Hard News

Bernie O’Dea is the owner/editor of the Peaks Weekly Watcher, a small town newspaper, so you’ll get a real inside look at the newspaper world. And no one knows the newspaper business better than Maureen, a third-generation newspaper editor … I really can’t describe the novel better than popular Maine novelist Paul Doiron does: “Cold Hard News is an extraordinarily accomplished and entertaining debut. Maureen Milliken writes vividly about life in rural Maine and she has created a likable, engaging heroine in reporter Bernie O’Dea. Quick witted and quirky, brave but believable, Bernie is my favorite kind of accidental sleuth.
