  1. To start this summary out I must say this to anyone who wants to read this book, it has a variety. It has adventure, action, mystery, sports, and it even has a small touch of romance. The main characters are Curt, Lori, Paullina, and the two terrorists. What happens is that the the terrorists kidnap Paullina who is the daughter of a very rich man. The terrorists take her into a cave and hold her for ransome. Curt and Lori, who work at a cave tour place and are friends of Paullina, try to go into the cave by themselves in hope of saving their friend, but they run into trouble when the terrorists capture Lori and it is up to Curt to save them all. Will Curt be able to save Paullina and Lori from the two terrorists or will he be captured and left in the cave with the others? Check out this modernday story of life in the rocks.


  2. First of all I have to say that this book is worth buying. It has everything fear, romance, suspence. The story starts with Pauline getting kiddnaped and held hostage in a cave. Curt and Lori go into the cave to try and save her, but when lori tries to wake Pauline she screams and Lori is caught. Now curt has to stop the terrorist and rescue Pauline and Lori.

4 comments about Murder in Winnetka.
  1. A friend recommended 'Murder in Winnetka' to me and since I usually read non-fiction I was reluctant to pick it up. When I did, I couldn't put it down! The intriguing plot twists and turns through Chicago's North Shore and the fascinating lives of its wealthy residents as it races to a shocking, shattering conclusion. The fictional characters are as real as the actual Chicago locations that serve as their backdrop. There is something for everyone in the steamy romance, mysterious murder, political intrigue and suspensful kidnapping all intertwined in this compelling first novel. I can't wait to read S.C. Pemberton's next book!


  2. As many mystery writers, S.C. Pemberton gained her writing skills in other areas: as a playwright and copywriter, as well as broadcasting. She has also been an actress, which gives her the background for this unusual mystery. Ms. Pemberton is a University of Florida alumni and a native Floridian who made her way to the Midwest.

    Jonathan and Meridith Chamberlain, at first look, have it all. Jonathan is the son of an influential congressman, and Meridith is an heiress. They live in the most affluent section of Chicago's North Shore, Winnetka. But having it all is not enough. Their marriage is failing; Jonathan is in financial trouble; and then the police find the body of Tony Romano in their home. Their children never made it to school that day; every parent's nightmare:

    "Chelsea was wary and stood silent. The woman continued in a gentle voice, `I work with your mother at the North Lake Community House. She's already called the school, and they know you're going with me. My name is Laura.' The woman held out her hand. Chelsea wasn't sure. Something told her to go to the office and see if her mother had really called. She was remembering all the warnings from mom and her teachers. She back off. A hired guard sat, not ten feet away. His presence was the result of the shootings at the school in May of 1987. Another mother was coaxing him to take a forgotten lunch bag to a classroom, and he was busy explaining he could not leave his post."

    Pemberton uses her technical expertise in broadcasting and the theater to set the stage for this romantic and captivating mystery. The character of Meri Chamberlain is as likable as her husband Jonathan is despicable. A theme of unbridled power and ambition juxtaposed by the character of an unlikely mob boss makes for powerful reading material. Even as Meri is swept off of her feet by the handsome Tony Romano, evil is lurking in the wings, waiting to take the life of her children in exchange for political favors.

    Murder In Winnetka weaves a world of power and greed that thrill and entertains the reader.

  3. I was amazed at the fun I had while reading S.C. Pemberton's first novel, Murder in Winnetka. I never guessed the surprise ending and felt like I knew each character. I felt like I was at the movies, to the extent that I cast each character in my head with popular stars. Loved reading this!!! Please write more books!!!


  4. I loved reading "Murder in Winnetka!" The thrills, twists, turns and sexy encounters kept my butt in the chair and my eyes glued to the pages. I recommended this novel to many friends and know they greatly enjoyed S.C. Pemberton's smashing story as well. I wish Hollywood would discover this rare find of prime entertainment.
