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.
