Shadow of an Angel (Beeler Large Print Mystery Series)

After the sudden death of her husband, Minda Hobbs returns to Angel Heights, S.C., the home of her forebears, to seek peace and purpose in her life. Instead, she finds her n'er-do'well cousin Otto as cold and stiff as yeaterday's grits in the ladies' room at the historic Minerva Academy. Shocked by her cousin's murder and still grieving over the loss of her husband, Minda has mixed emotions when she's greeted by her guardian angel, Augusta Goodnight. Augusta is a temp who has come on a double mission -- to help Minda solve Otto's murder and to take care of unfinished business from an assignment in 1916. Even though Otto could be unbearable at times, an annoying laugh is hardly cause for murder, Minda's only lead is a tiny gold pin, found wedged in a Minerva bathroom stall, and its connection to a club called the Mystic Six. Together, Minda and Augusta trace the descendents of this secret society, piecing together clues that lead to a special quilt and the mystery behind Cousin Otto's unfortunate demise.Mignon Franklin Ballard is the author of 'Shadow of an Angel (Beeler Large Print Mystery Series)' with ISBN 9781574904338 and ISBN 1574904337.
