The Mysterious Case of the Missing Grave

The Redemption Detective Agency: Book 5

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Every year, one of Nora's friends visits her husband's grave on the anniversary of his death.

Except this year, his grave is missing.

But how can a grave disappear?

It's not like Emily has time for this, as she has her hands full with The Redemption Detective Agency and trying to sort out this new relationship with Nick (and what exactly is his relationship with the mysterious Sophie Taylor) but the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that the missing grave might be the least of her problems… and might be covering up something far worse.

A spin-off from the Charlie Kingsley Mystery series! The Redemption Detective Agency is a funny, twisty, romcom cozy mystery series set in the 1990s featuring silver sleuths solving cold cases, cats, dogs and an opposites attract love triangle. Great for fans of the Thursday Murder Club, Only Murders in the Building, Murder She Wrote, Gilmore Girls (if they were also amateur detectives) and The Golden Girls (if they decided to start solving mysteries).

Author

An award-winning, USA Today Bestselling author, Michele taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but now she does spend much of her time writing stories. Mystery stories, to be exact. They're clean and twisty, and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn't enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes and more.

Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter Cassie.

When she's not writing, she's usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or watching the Food Network and imagining she's an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert, she's not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)
