Marcèline’s Mysteries –
Murder & Messages
Book One
A woman who doesn’t believe in “gifts” must find a way to accept hers, at least long enough to solve her grandmother’s murder.
History professor and genealogist Marcèline Fleur Causey deals in facts. Not voodoo, hoodoo, or parlor tricks. She digs up the dead: birth, marriage, and death certificates. And she insists her grandmother is wrong. There’s no evidence she possesses a “gift.”
The police tell Marcèline they’re investigating her grandmother’s death as a murder. Her teenage cousin is a suspect. Marcèline rushes to Ascension Guesthouse, rushing headfirst into weirdness—odd notes and funeral arrangements, disappearing jewelry, a stalker, and siblings she never knew she had.
Meanwhile, she’s grappling with feelings for Detective LeBec Landry, her childhood friend and first crush. He’s a smart, sexy, handsome man now.
Strange sensations and impossible communications make Marcèline question everything about her life. Now she’s counting on the impossible to help solve her grandmother’s murder.
