LOUISE
GAYLORD’S “SUTTON PLACE” A SUSPENSFUL TALE OF FAMILY SECRETS, BETRAYAL
Award-winning author continues ‘Julia Fairchild’ trilogy this
August
Suspense,
scandal and betrayal are the cornerstones of Louise Gaylord’s newest release “Sutton Place,” a
prequel to the third novel of the “Julia Fairchild” series.
“Sutton Place” (August 27, 2013,
Little Moose Press) details the horrific events of Julia’s teen years—events deeply
buried in her psyche.
After quickly rising through the
ranks at a prestigious New York hospital and becoming the object of a prominent
physician’s affections, Julia’s painful memories slowly return. When a weekend
tryst at a ski lodge turns into a complete disaster, there seems to be only one
answer to Julia’s dilemma—escape.
Julia packs her bags and moves
2,000 miles away to a small town in New Mexico where she attempts to grapple
with her past and rebuild her life.
Bust just as things are looking up, Julia is called back to
New York and heartbreaking tragedy.
Gaylord’s
stories whisk readers out of their reality and plunge them fully into the ones
she creates. Best known for her numerous Allie Armington mysteries, Gaylord
also has a series of novels to her credit and a charming recipe book, which
round her out of a multi-genre writer. She has won many national book awards
and garners praise from literary critics and readers alike.
“These
are the novels to buy, read, love and give to dear friends. Louise Gaylord combines suspense, romance,
exotic locales and heart-stopping excitement as well as any writer on the planet.
You will adore her books,” says Michael Levin, New York Times best-selling author.

Louise Gaylord: Biography
Louise Gaylord is an acclaimed national award-winning author
who established herself with her very first book, a suspenseful murder mystery
centering on a young, sharp female assistant district attorney. This was the
cornerstone of what has become her popular Allie Armington mystery series, the
idea for it sparked when Louise herself spent three months on a grand jury
panel.
The series has grown to four
novels, with stories ranging from the Southwest (“Anacacho” and “Spa Deadly”) to
New York (“Xs”), to the
most recent (“Dark Lake”) featuring
her beloved Adirondacks.
In the middle of establishing her mystery writer
credentials, she expanded out of the genre with an insightful character study
novel, “Julia Fairchild,” and then the delightful “Recipes from
Camp Trillium.” The cookbook features worldwide recipes from Louise’s
family and guests during years they visited her in New York’s Adirondack
Mountains.
Her first Allie Armington Mystery, “Anacacho,” won the 2003
National Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Mystery/Suspense sponsored by
Publisher’s Marketing Association in Los Angeles. The San Francisco Book
Festival awarded Louise with best audio book in 2010 for “Spa Deadly.” “Recipes
from Camp Trillium” won the Dan Poynter’s Global eBook Awards, in which “Julia
Fairchild” and “Spa Deadly” were also finalists. And most recently, “Dark Lake”
was recognized in the General Fiction category of the Los Angeles Book
Festival.
Louise’s newest book, “Sutton Place,” will be published August 27,
2013, by Little Moose Press, Beverly Hills, California.
Louise lives in Houston, Texas, though she might be found
writing almost anywhere in the world.
Praise for Louise Gaylord’s Work
“Dark Lake”
“Mystery and intrigue wrapped up in a book that can be read
in one thrilling day.” – Kritters
Ramblings review
“I love reading a good mystery where I am left wondering
‘who dun it’ right up until the end and with ‘Dark Lake’ that’s exactly what I
got.” – WV Stitcher
“The author skillfully teases us with glimpses and hints
about who the real villain is...and trust me...there could have been a ton of
potential bad guys. The ending is a burst of action and surprise.” – Reader review, Amazon.com
“Spa Deadly”
“Cielo Azul may sound like the perfect setting for a peaceful New Mexico getaway, yet in the hands of Louise Gaylord the luxury spa is anything but. Murder and mystery await unsuspecting vacationers on every page of this ingenious, irresistible story.” – Tom Blomquist, television writer/producer, “Hunter,” “Stingray,” “Christy,” “Walker, Texas Ranger”
“Do not be
disarmed by Allie Armington. Like my old friend Lieutenant Columbo, she tends
to know a great many things that she wishes she’d missed.” – William Link, co-creator of “Columbo” and
“Murder, She Wrote,” past president of the Mystery Writers of America,
recipient of Emmy, Golden Globe, Edgar and Marlowe awards
“Xs”
“What
do you get when you wrap the thrills of a mystery writer like Agatha Christie
up with the hip style of Janet Evanovich and toss in a little Nora Roberts
romance? You get Louise Gaylord. While her style of writing is all her own, the
minute I started reading ‘Xs’ I knew she had a combination of talents much like
these other well-known authors. The spunk of her characters, Allie Armington
and her sister Angela, create a never ending thrill throughout the book.” – Beverly Perchin, Reader Views
“As with ‘Anacacho,’ I had a hard time putting down the book.”
– Reader review, Amazon.com

beginning to end. Louise Gaylord is very successful at keeping you guessing who
is the bad guy, but when you think you got it all figured out, comes another

book to see what the outcome is.” – Reader
review, Amazon.com

you” – Reader review, Amazon.com

Q&A
with “Sutton Place” author Louise Gaylord
What will fans of “Julia Fairchild” like about your newest book, “Sutton
Place?”
“Sutton Place” is the prequel to “Julia Fairchild”.
The reader learns in detail about the incidents that drove Julia from New York
to New Mexico.
Three months serving on a grand jury panel inspired your Allie Armington mystery series. How did you come
up with Julia’s character?
Julia just “grew like Topsy” in my mind. She’s a
composite of all the strong women I have known.
Lies, family secrets, obsessions – will Julia ever catch a break?
She catches her break in “Julia Fairchild”.
Your mystery novels are known for
having very unexpected twists and surprise endings. How do you keep readers on
their toes?
I don’t outline so
sometimes I even surprise myself! I really write to amuse myself. One of my
writing instructors said I should have fun when writing. I have a friend who
writes a chapter here and then a chapter there. I can’t do that. I have to write
in a linear fashion.
As a successful, award-winning
mystery writer, you stepped out of the genre to work on a few other books,
including Recipes from Camp Trillium.
What’s your favorite dish to stir up in the kitchen?
Grandma Betsy’s Chicken. My
mother put Lawry’s seasoning and Worchester sauce on everything. This made a
nice, simple one-dish meal to serve all. To make it, you just need chicken,
Worcestershire sauce and Lawry’s® Seasoned Salt. Then add any vegetable of your
choice. Cut up potatoes, mushrooms, onions or red bell peppers, carrots, almost
anything except greens. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Quarter the chicken
or cut it into single-serving pieces. Place the chicken skin side up in an
aluminum foil-lined pan. Throw the vegetables all around it. Douse it with
Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Bake that for 25 to 40
minutes, or until the juices run clear.
You studied art history in
college after your grade-school teachers encouraged you to do something with
your painting skills. How has painting helped you write?
I’m a very visual person. So I
can imagine a scene as if I’m painting it and portray that in words on page. A
lot of people who write also paint. I noticed though that I never had a problem
dropping the paintbrush to go play tennis or golf. But once I started writing I
couldn’t leave my computer.
You’re churning out books left and right. What are you working on now?
An Allie Armington
Mystery. The working title is: “A Cruise to Die For.” Stay tuned!
My review:
Sutton Place by Louise Gaylord
Julia is a doctor and it's her birthday. Her sister Ariel is now stateside and they meet for a lunch, but Ariel is 40 mins late.
The owner of the restaurant comes to Areils rescue and gets them a table in the crowded business. Ariel and her companion is more interested in Julia than Ariel.
Julia lives in a wing on the third floor of the mansion called Sutton place and she's decorate it to her wants. Story goes back in time when Julia did find out about her real father...
Julia feels somebody is stalking her and with the heavy breathing phone calls she gets nauseous.
Ariel's job has led to entertaining many men. She loves the money and the things it can buy.
Very detailed descriptions of the meeting Julia' mother met when she was getting her divorce in Mexico.
David and Rachel are together on a plan but Julia doesn't even see David and his advances.
This is all starting to get a bit scary with talk of drugs and making one semi conscious and deaths.
Julia leaves the practice and her life in NY for one in the South and I loved learning about her new surroundings. Hated to hear maybe others are still stalking her...
Julia still had to find out about her her birth father...
This book did take me out of my comfort zone...
