Death in Disguise: A Rev & Rye Mystery

A compelling narrative filled with wry humor, a complex investigation, and characters that resonate.

-Jane Willan, author of the Sister Agatha and Father Selwyn mystery series

The Reverend Wanda and her best friend Rye are back, shocked at the layers of secrets that the latest murder uncovers and how all those secrets seem to trace back to Rye . . .

A multifaith Mardi Gras celebration sounds like the perfect way to ease into Lent, with enough music, King cake, and socializing to distract Reverend Wanda Duff from the cold, dreary New England weather-until she and her friend Rye stumble on a body.

Someone has murdered Martina Suarez in the basement of Saint Athanasius, and it quickly becomes clear that the question isn’t so much who would want to kill the church custodian as who wouldn’t. But the more Wanda and Rye learn about Martina and the secrets she kept, the harder it gets for them to ignore the case’s connections to the past and to the shadows haunting their own lives.

Soon, Wanda finds herself struggling with love and loss on more than one front, while Rye pieces together the heartbreaking bedtime story her father’s never been willing to tell her: the truth of why her mother disappeared.

Delivered with humor, emotion, and a twist around every corner, Death in Disguise is another delightful and inclusive cozy mystery for readers to devour.
