A Veiled Antiquity by Rett Macpherson
Torie O'Shea investigates the tangled roots of an ancient family tree.
Torie O'Shea-- genealogist and amateur sleuth-- is having a killer of a day. The town gossip spreads the word that her sweet wheelchair-bound mother is having an affair-- with the sheriff Then quiet Marie Dijon is found dead at the foot of her basement stairs. Did she fall? Was she pushed? All Torie knows is that Marie had a family tree with royal roots completely foreign to a folksy Middle America town like New Kassel, Missouri. As foreign as, say.murder. But nosiness in New Kassel is as native as the upcoming Oktoberfest. To Torie, the open door to Marie's house is more tempting than chocolate. Finding a hidden key and old documents in French make further investigating irresistible. But while juggling her growing suspicions, a hectic job at the historical society, two kids, and a sexy husband, Torie overlooks the obvious. Curiosity killed the cat. Someone killed Marie Dijon. And now Torie might know too much to live.
Rett MacPherson is the author of eleven Torie O'Shea books, pioneering the popular sub-genre of genealogical mysteries. In addition to writing, Rett is a bead and fabric artist and loves all kinds of fabric, laces, buttons, and beads. She loves to be outdoors and she likes to run, even though she's slow and has to ice her knees afterward. In addition to reading-sometimes reading as many as fifty books a year-she also loves genealogy and is descended from a long line of English lords, Irish rascals, Scottish highlanders, Viking marauders, and French vintners and horse breeders. If time-travel were possible, she'd like to visit all of her direct ancestors. She's obsessed with British television and loves almost all music. She lives in St. Louis with her family, where she can often be found practicing yoga...unless she's at the winery.
