"POLAR BEARS IN THE KITCHEN maintains the consistently high standard of Joan Leslie Woodruff's previous books. In her spare, lucid and perceptive style, this time she unravels the twisted mind of a serial killer with the whimsical help of her neighborhood ghosts. Ms Woodruff writes with the confidence of someone familiar with the extremes of human experience, investing her heroine, Myra Whitehawk, with a cool, yet empathetic intelligence. Perhaps we all live unaware we are surrounded by the ghosts of the past. Possibly we cut ourselves off from this reality through fear or convention. Myra Whitehawk introduces us to a far deeper and time-honored tradition in her respectful awareness of her ghostly neighbors, who she accepts wholeheartedly as a natural part of life. POLAR BEARS IN THE KITCHEN is an intensely satisfying read on many levels ... " Best selling author, Timothy Wyllie (2009).
