A patron asked one of our librarians for the title of a book with the following info: a murderer named Raymond Raintree kidnaps a little girl, kills her, and hangs her by a fishing pole. Patron thought the author's name was Nancy Pacard. That name sounds familiar, but I've tried different spellings with no luck. Tried our database and Novelist, struck out again. Does anyone have an idea? TIA

There is a mystery writer named Nancy Pickard, but the plot you describe
doesn't seem to fit any of her books that I have available to examine. And
it sounds too gruesome for her usual semi-cozy style. But perhaps her
series is why the name sounds familiar to you.

Actually it is Nancy Pickard. Her most recent book The Whole Truth is not
part of her regular series and is VERY different in tone and style. I
love her series and really enjoyed this one as well, in spite of or
because of, its difference.

The mystery writer you're seeking is Nancy Pickard, not Pacard. She's
written quite a few books. The book you're seeking is THE WHOLE TRUTH. To
see a review, try the following URL. The review is by Lesa Holstine, a
Fiction-L-er

http://www.edsbookreview.com/mystery/pickard_whole_truth.html

BTW - found the answer using good ol' dogpile.com. I used Nancy Pickard 's
name and the character's name. It came up with several reviews, among other
things.

Once again the mighty FictionL comes through. Isn't it amazing how quickly a problem can be solved when you have such a pool of knowledgeable people to draw upon?
