The Book of Sylvia - a cozy mystery

MSMiller · 06-19-2012, 08:26 AM

I am excited to announce that I have released my second novel, The Book of Sylvia. The book could be classified as a cozy mystery or contemporary fiction.

Here is the synopsis:
Under suspicion of abetting a robbery, London streetwalker Sylvia Smith doesn’t know where to turn. Frightened and alone, she arrives on the steps of St. Alban’s church, where she meets Father Christopher Fosberry, a priest consumed with self-doubt as he struggles to resurrect his dying church.

Together they set out to recover the stolen money, following a cryptic clue whispered to Sylvia by her client as he was taken into custody. They quickly find themselves drawn toward one another by a mutual sense of despair and a desire to help the other. But Sylvia soon discovers that the more she guides the priest, the deeper she drives a wedge between the man and the church.

Available at the following locations:
Amazon
Barnes & Noble
Smashwords

The first reviews are in. Here's what readers are saying:

"This is a fun mystery, as well as a beautiful story of self-discovery and friendship...The plot moves at a good pace, and the mystery kept me guessing all the way through to the end."

"It is nice every now and then to come across a surprise great read. The unlikely pair of heroes are a delight, and so, so, human....Great ending, and some gems of wisdom on the way...such an entertaining read."
