Here's a little bit of info on SONNET OF THE SPHINX:

For one of Innisdale's residents, a priceless sonnet means poetic license to kill…

Whilst sorting through a hoard of papers found in an old farmhouse, American literary scholar Grace Hollister discovers a World War II love letter referring to the lost Shelley sonnet, “Sate the Sphinx.” Before Grace can set to work on tracking down this poetic treasure, ex-jewel thief Peter Fox's shady past rears its head-a particularly ugly head belonging to a menacing Turk who has a score to settle with Grace's enigmatic love interest.

Not only are Grace and Peter suddenly suspects in a murder investigation, someone is trying his level best to kill Grace-not once, but twice. Will third time prove the charm?

The hieroglyphics are on the wall: unless Grace can decipher an inscrutable riddle and unearth the true villain amidst a cache of eccentric suspects, it may be All She Wrote for the intrepid Ms. Hollister.

"Light, charming. . . . An entertaining romp through a beautiful part of Britain."

“A cleverly plotted debut.”

“Even if you don't usually care for cozies, this light satire on the genre is fun and a fast read. The characters are engaging, as well as the situations."
