“Masterful storytelling.” –L.A. Post Examiner

In St. Aster’s Grave Secret, historian Wrenn Grayson meets three men: a judge, a lawyer, and a minister. Within days, she attends funerals for two of the three.

The dying words of one of them draws her close. He presses a paper into her hands and begs her to carry out the obligations recorded there. Wrenn reads chilling words on the page: “We are bound to each other and the terrible knowledge we carry with us. One of us will tell the truth.” Her promise to him sends her on the perilous trail of seven signed confessions.

Is the third man she met conspiring against Wrenn and responsible for the danger exploding around her?

Perhaps Wrenn should have been wary of a story that began on a dark, stormy night in a shadowy cemetery.

Fans of Sue Grafton, Anthony Horowitz, J.A. Jance, and Louise Penny will love this gripping mystery by Connie Chappell.
