ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sharon Fernicola is a writer drawn to layered mysteries,
emotional realism, and characters who challenge assumptions. Her fascination with crime and justice began early, watching Perry Mason with her father and falling in love with the genre’s blend of intellect and drama. Her debut novel, Trial by Town, explores the fragile line between perception and truth in a small town desperate to preserve its legacy.
In her 70s, Sharon completed three triathlons, obtained dual
Italian–American citizenship, and wrote her first book—living
proof that bold dreams don’t come with an expiration date. She brings a poetic sensibility to her storytelling, blending suspense with empathy and nuance. When she’s not writing, she’s mapping out her next adventure or putting in time at the gym, always chasing the next challenge with curiosity and grit.

The beginning of Trial by Town sets up the rest of the story. Once in, I could not stop reading until I finished the book well into the night!

A wonderfully crafted tale that grabbed me right away and refused to let go until the surprising ending. Can't beat a story with a little twist at the end that leaves you totally satisfied. Too bad it had to end.
