Carved in Stone: A San Francisco Earthquake Restoration Mystery (Miss Henry Art Cozy Mysteries Book 10)

About Carved in Stone: A San Francisco Earthquake Restoration Mystery (Miss Henry Art Cozy Mysteries Book 10)

“Carved in Stone” is the tenth installment in the Miss Henry Cozy Mystery Series. Juliet Henry received the invitation to San Francisco with all the enthusiasm she would feel for attending a public execution, but her lover, Raphael, seemed to truly want her company so she had accepted the invitation to Paul House and then packed her duffle with dark, wrinkle-resistant clothing and a collection of sketch pads and pencils. But as so often happens when Juliet travels she stumbles into something more sinister than damaged works of art. This time the oddity is down in the crypt which had supposedly been emptied of bodies. The red-headed corpse she discovers is not a new one, but nowhere near old enough to have belonged to the accused witch whose name was carved into the marker on the violated crypt. Solving a sixty year old murder won’t be easy, but Miss Henry is dogged about finding the truth– even when it leads to the darkest of San Francisco’s underground movements in the 1950’s.

About The Depth of Water

Hours after her father drowns, Liesel Drummond sees him in a vision. In it, her father touches the child within her womb and vanishes.

Years later, Liesel’s son, Owen, is haunted by an inexplicable fear of water. When he falls into a pool at the tender age of eight, something shifts within him. Owen is plagued by horrific night terrors, clawing at the air as if trying to swim to safety, gasping for air, coughing up water, reaching for an unseen lifeline, and choking on phantom waves.

With nowhere else to turn, Liesel seeks out Carson Knox, an expert in reincarnation and the transmigration of souls, but discovering that Owen has indeed been reincarnated is only the beginning. The true challenge lies in freeing her father’s soul from her son’s, forcing Liesel to confront the unfathomable depths of water, both literal and metaphorical.

The Depth of Water will transport you to a world where the past and present intertwine, exploring themes of family, loss, and the power of love. Prepare to embark on a suspenseful journey that will leave you questioning the boundaries of life and the ties that bind us all.
