The Corpse with the Silver Tongue by Cathy Ace

The Corpse with the Silver Tongue by Cathy Ace

In the south of France where hatred simmers in the heat, a man seemingly admired, and certainly feared, drops dead at a dinner party. All of the guests fall under suspicion, including Welsh-Canadian professor Cait Morgan. A criminologist who specializes in profiling victims, Cait sets out to solve the murder--and clear her name. Add to this the disappearance of an ancient Celtic gold collar said to be cursed and there you have the ingredients for a Nicoise salad of death, secrets, and lies. Will Cait find the killer before she too falls victim to a murderer driven by a surprising and disturbing motive?

The Corpse with the Silver Tongue is the first in the Cait Morgan mystery series, a classic whodunit series featuring the eccentric Professor Cait Morgan.

Ace, Cathy: - Cathy Ace was born and raised in Swansea, South Wales, and migrated to Canada in 2000. Having traveled the world for both business and pleasure for many years, Cathy put her knowledge of the cultures, history, art and food she encountered to good use in The Cait Morgan Mysteries - a series of traditional closed-circle murder mysteries featuring globetrotting professor of criminal psychology (and foodie) sleuth, Cait Morgan. Ace's other series is set in her native Wales: The WISE Enquiries Agency Mysteries feature four female professional investigators (one Is Welsh, one Irish, one Scottish and one English). They tackle quirky - and quintessentially British - cases from their base at a Welsh stately home, the ancient seat of the Dukes of Chellingworth, set in the rolling countryside of Powys, near the picturesque village of Anwen-by-Wye. Cathy now lives in British Columbia, where her ever-supportive husband and chocolate Labrador ensure she's able to work full-time as an author, and enjoy her other passion - gardening. Bestselling author Ace has been shortlisted for the Bony Blithe Award for Best Light Mystery written by a Canadian three times in four years, winning in 2015; she was also shortlisted for the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Short Story in 2017. Two of her short stories have been produced for BBC Radio 4.
