IRVING, Texas - April 19, 2017 - PRLog -- Bred to the Bone: Deadly Secrets at Hunter's Water Mill, the long-awaited novel by Lin Waterhouse, has been released!!

Lin Waterhouse's Bred to the Bone: Deadly Secrets at Hunter's Water Mill, is a mystery inspired by the existing Hodgson's Water Mill in Sycamore, Missouri. Built in 1861 to harness the power of a massive spring flowing into Bryant Creek and rebuilt in 1897 by Alva Hodgson, it is officially registered in the National Register of Historic Places. Being only about thirty foot above water level, when the creek crests the county puts marks on the door that is on the upper level. And to this day, you can go to any grocery store and purchase flour with the Hodgson name. Waterhouse only lived a couple of miles from this beautiful gift of history and is acquainted with the operators of the now must-see tourist site.

You, too, can enjoy its grandeur should you stop by on your way through the Ozarks…or when you read Bred to the Bone featuring Caroline Hudson, a widow who moves to the Ozarks to start over, works part-time at a renovated, water-operated mill turned into a tourist stop/shop.
