The reason this book begins with chapter 98 is that the final four books of the Biscuit McKee Mystery Series began with RED AS A ROOSTER, followed by BLACK AS SOOT and PINK AS A PEONY. WHITE AS ICE is the last book in the Biscuit McKee Mystery Series. For your own enjoyment, please read all four of these last books in the correct order, as the author makes no attempt to "bring the reader up to speed" with the story so far, and the stories interweave from one book to the next.
As a reminder to you, the usual "Author’s Note" at the beginning of a book is an all-inclusive one at the end of RED AS A ROOSTER. As you will have noticed, at the end of each book are lists of the original Martin Clan members, the town council chairs, the inhabitants of Beechnut House, a condensed Hastings genealogy, and who’s in Biscuit and Bob’s house during the ice storm.
Finally, various contests resulted in the use of the names of Hannah Heath, Veronica, Janice Adams Beene, Peggy Ann Dixon, and Mozelle Funderburk as characters in this final book. I hope you folks like the people you got to be!
