Produktbeschreibung

Three sisters who couldn't be more different but share one thing in common a taste for solving crimes

It's 1921 and Americans are still reeling from the effects of World War I. In a small town on the California/Nevada border, three sisters who own the only mortuary in town cope with a rapidly changing America. Eve, whose values are still buried in the past, takes care of the administrative and accounting side. Her younger sister, Helena, uses her scientific and medical knowledge for the more hands-on side of the business. Their younger sister Violet, at eighteen, prefers the parties and fun offered by a flapper's life over funeral arrangements and burials.

Then the new district attorney of Gyver County calls them down to a remote part of the river to attend the body of a suicide found among the overgrowth. Only it isn't a suicide it's murder!

As far as the sisters are concerned, murder is police business. Their business is to see the dead are at peace, body and soul. But District Attorney Oliver Clarke needs their knowledge of the town and its people to help him and they can't say no.

What follows is a twisted tale with not many clues to untangle it: an engagement ring, a piece of rope, and an unknown dead girl.

Will Eve and her sisters cross the line from death to life to help solve the case?

From the author of the Adele Gossling Mysteries comes a new series set during the tumultuous early years of the Jazz Age. Come follow the adventures of three sisters who battle life and death in a nation moving into the modern age faster than it can handle.

Autorenporträt

Writing has been Tam May's voice since the age of fourteen. She writes stories set in the past that feature sassy and sensitive women characters. Her fiction gives readers a sense of justice for women, both the living and the dead. Tam's stories are set mostly around the Bay Area because she adores sourdough bread, Ghirardelli chocolate, and San Francisco history.

Tam is the author of the Adele Gossling Mysteries which take place in the early 20th century and features suffragist and epistolary expert Adele Gossling whose talent for solving crimes doesn't sit well with the town's more conventional ideas about women's place.

Tam has also written historical fiction about women breaking loose from the social and psychological expectations of their era. She has a 4-book historical coming-of-age series set in the 1890s titled the Waxwood Series and a post-World War II short story collection available.

Although Tam left her heart in San Francisco, she lives in the Midwest because it's cheaper. When she's not writing, she's devouring everything classic (books, films, art, music) and concocting yummy vegan dishes.
