A Misty Mourning (Torie O'Shea Mysteries) Book

TO SAVE HERSELF GENEALOGIST TORIE O'SHEA MUST UNRAVEL AN EIGHTY-YEAR-OLD MYSTERY-AND UNMASK A KILLER...Most people would think historian Torie O'Shea is a very lucky person to be the sole inheritor of a sprawling estate belonging to her great grandmother's old friend, Clarissa Hart. So why then is Torie far from happy when she hears the news? For starters, she had never met the woman and can't understand why the centenarian wanted to leave her property to a stranger. Secondly, the shabby, run-down boardinghouse is far from glamorous, with panthers roaming the acreage and a long-held superstition that it's cursed, bringing bad luck to whoever owns it...Summoned by ailing, one-hundred-and-one-year-old Clarissa to West Virginia for the reading of her will, a very pregnant Torie and her cantankerous grandma, Gert, are given a frosty welcome by Clarissa's family, staff, and boarders alike. But before Clarissa can explain, and as if to prove the existence of the bad luck karma, she is murdered, and Torie, who unluckily happens upon the body, becomes Sheriff Thomas T. Justice's prime suspect. Is it the curse or justice gone awry? But where there's a will there's a way out, and feisty Torie goes on the offensive. Using her considerable snooping skills, she brings to light a lynching on the family tree and a deadly secret rooted in revenge-and becomes the all-too-conspicuous target of a killer out of control...AUTHORBIO: RETT MacPHERSON lives in a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri with her husband and three children. This is her fourth Torie O'Shea mystery.Read More
