Kate Benedict Mystery Series Vol. 4-6 (The Kate Benedict Series Book 10)

Description

No matter where she goes, London architect Kate Benedict seems to come across a dead body . . . or two. It’s not quite accurate to say that Death stalks her. It’s more like she stalks Death—and tries to outwit it. But Kate has a bit of an edge—an unusual, supernatural talent: she sees mysterious, swirling, death-predicting auras hovering over the people around her. She uses these paranormal powers to save her aura-ridden friends, neighbors, and coworkers who are oblivious to the danger they’re in.

In these three traditional British mysteries with a metaphysical twist—also sure to please international armchair adventurers—Kate’s in a race against the clock and imminent death at a glamorous weekend party, on a business trip to Amsterdam, and at a destination wedding.

The Scottish Connection
Kate is off to a glamorous weekend party in Scotland at the formerly grand castle belonging to the uncle of her boyfriend Josh. But the festive occasion turns solemn when Kate notices an aura above the head of Josh’s beloved Uncle Fergus. Kate can sometimes avert disaster–if she can discover the source of the danger. Otherwise, Josh’s favorite uncle will die in a matter of days.

Thus is the scene set for a deliciously traditional British cozy with a touch of the paranormal thriller—complete with ghostly characters from the past; medieval weapons collection; a ruined, closed-off wing of the castle; plus a vaguely menacing assortment of servants and locals and a castleful of dodgy house guests, all wrapped up in mysterious Scottish gloom . . . warmed by a cozy library fire and a nearly priceless collection of single malt scotches.

Assignment in Amsterdam
It looks like a plum job for architect Kate Benedict—she’s been sent to Amsterdam to repurpose an ancient mansion, happily assigned to work with an old friend. But it’s a catastrophe—her old friend’s going to die. And so is the caretaker. And the owner. Probably Kate too, but she wouldn’t know—the auras she can see don’t show in mirrors. As the team hears voices in empty rooms and discovers hidden passageways, Kate knows the house conceals a secret. One that someone will kill to keep.

The Trouble at Turtle Beach
Kate Benedict has no sooner stepped off the ferry to a tiny, remote island in Seychelles, primed to de-stress and celebrate at a destination wedding, than she spots imminent danger—auras spinning above the heads of two people on the dock. One’s a stranger, but the other’s the groom!

It’s hard to convince Josh’s friends that a murderer is lurking among the gracious islanders, the chill tourists, and serene natural beauty, but with a suspicious fire and a third aura sighting, the evidence is mounting. Until they can find the murderer, Kate and Josh have to keep the groom safe and fend off the worst wedding crasher ever—Death!
