The Corpse with the Sapphire Eyes cover

"Don't panic, Cait. This death will not spoil our wedding. I promise." It's Cait and Bud's wedding weekend and nothing is going as planned. The weather in Wales is terrible, the "romantic" castle they chose for their destination wedding feels creepy, and now there's a dead man at the foot of the stairs. Bud assures her that the death of the choirmaster is nothing more than an unfortunate accident, but the bride cannot help but suspect the worst. With the only bridge to the castle washed out by the storm, Cait surmises that the murderer is still in their midst, and sets out to catch the culprit. She knows she has to solve the case before something, or someone, prevents her from finally saying "I do." With an eclectic cast of characters and a baffling mystery, the fifth Cait Morgan Mystery will have you stumbling to catch up to Cait's brilliant mind, and keep you guessing until its shocking conclusion. "Touches of Christie or Marsh but with a bouquet of Kinsey Millhone." -Globe and Mail

Praise for The Corpse with the Platinum Hair: "I've always loved locked-room mysteries, and this is a terrific one. A cast of characters (each of them with something to hide) marooned on the top floor of a swank Las Vegas casino with a corpse. A fun and suspenseful mystery." -Rhys Bowen, New York Times, bestselling author of the Molly Murphy and Royal Spyness Mysteries. Praise for The Corpse with the Emerald Thumb: "The perfect read for those who like a classic mystery with twists and turns, enjoyable characters and no gory descriptions." -Brooke Blogs Praise for The Corpse with the Golden Nose: "If you're a lover of classic mystery, this second Cait Morgan novel is for you. Ace takes her foodie / criminologist into B.C. wine country for a murder with touches of Christie or Marsh but with a bouquet of Kinsey Millhone." -The Globe and Mail Praise for The Corpse with the Silver Tongue: "[Cathy] Ace's smooth debut introduces Welsh-born Cait Morgan, a Vancouver, BC, criminology professor and police consultant, who finds more than she bargained for in Nice, France ... Cait's enjoyable first outing should earn her a well-deserved encore." -Publishers Weekly
