My third book premieres this Fall!

Good news!

        Look for my second novel in my series, A Priest, a Rabbi, and a Baptist Minister, this Fall! The three clergy reunite once again to solve The Murders at Thornhaven Manor. Look for it on Amazon along with my other books!

        Porter Mills’ most cantankerous resident, Alma Hargrove, is finally getting her way—Thornhaven Manor is set to be renovated under her watchful (and widely despised) eye. Disliked by nearly everyone, including her own daughter, Alma had no shortage of enemies. But when Alma turns up dead the day after the first volunteer meeting, the suspect list is longer than a church potluck line.

        The State Police dismiss the death as natural causes. Still, Detective Maureen McNeely’s Irish sixth sense says otherwise. Unwilling to let the case slip through the cracks, she purloins the case and starts unraveling the tangled web of secrets, grudges, and motives surrounding Alma’s untimely demise.

        Of course, Maureen knows better than to expect help from her misogynistic captain, so she turns to her secret weapon: her uncle, Father Brendan O’Clery. A former Marine and intelligence officer turned priest with a mind for puzzles, Father Brendan brings in his own unlikely crime-solving crew—Rabbi Ezra Lieberman and Pastor Langdon Boothe. The unlikely but brilliant trio brings their own brand of wisdom (and chaos) to the case.

        Murder, mayhem, and a little divine intervention—welcome to a mystery where faith, wit, and sharp detective work collide in the most delightful way.

        My editor begins work on May 1, and the illustrator begins her magic on July 1. I was hoping to make this second in my series a fun ‘Bech read’, but that’s how life goes sometimes.

        Meanwhile, my fourth novel (and third in the Priest, Rabbi, and Baptist Minister series) is currently being penned! Looks like I’ll have a busy summer!

        Until next time, stay clear of dark, unlit roads…
