Ghost of a Chance

“Murder, love, industrial espionage and bigamy are the ingredients blended together in this well-devised mystery story. The plot has all the Agatha Christie hallmarks of twists, turns and dead ends . . .” —Historical Novel Review

Mystery writer Marjorie McClelland knows all too well that murder always finds you when you least expect it, so when a man at the local annual carnival goes up in a Ferris wheel very much alive but comes down dead, she senses foul play, even as the local police suspect the cause of death was nothing more sinister than a heart attack.

Independent to the core, Marjorie ignores her opinionated neighbors and overly traditional fiancé and once again dons her sleuthing cap. Teaming up with her debonair English neighbor Creighton, she follows up on a clue she found at the scene of the crime and soon finds herself ensnared in a plot that involves a bigamist victim, a widow with a secret husband of her own, and a cast of suspects who all wanted to get something from both of them.

As the tension builds and danger draws near, Marjorie might just discover a threat closer to home, as she, her fiancé, and Creighton seem to be creating a little intrigue of their own.
