Shade of Malice

A lonely and murderous specter, a premonition of tragedy, and deadly choice. Just another day on the job for Azorin Academy’s best detective, Isabel Reeves.

Called into a local B&B with an unfortunate habit of turning up deceased clientele, Isabel is confronted with an uncooperative proprietor. She is tasked with why suicide victims keep being discovered, but there’s a mystery below the surface. When Isabel discovers a child with an eerily familiar make-believe friend, who will the specter come for next, and will Isabel have to come to a fatal decision?

If you like easy-reading detective cases in a continuing series featuring trusted sidekicks and a woman full of snark and confidence whose world does not rotate around the men in her life, join the adventures of Azorin Academy’s Isabel Reeves.
