Death by Resting Place: A Hilarious Feel-Good Cozy Mystery

About Death by Resting Place: A Hilarious Feel-Good Cozy Mystery

A worried museum curator. A historic island cemetery. And a missing tourist locked behind iron bars.

On San Malvino, the historic above-ground cemetery is usually just a quiet stop for visitors looking for old ghost stories and crumbling colonial architecture. But when Otto Delmar realizes his visiting college friend went for an afternoon stroll among the headstones and never came back, he hires Rafa to search the sprawling, shadowy graveyard. Rafa expects to find a distracted tourist with a dead cell phone battery or a twisted ankle.

Instead, a sweep of the oldest sector reveals the missing man lying dead on the dusty floor of an ancient family mausoleum. The discovery makes no physical sense. The heavy iron gates are secured from the outside by a thick chain.

The spooky island folklore kicks into high gear when Mendoza tapes off the cemetery and tries to hunt down a very much human killer in a place meant for the dead. It's up to Rafa, Reg, Alex, and Bombay to look past the ghostly rumors and crack the impossible case. Welcome to San Malvino.
