Spirits of the Law: A Suddenly French Mystery -- Elle Jauffret, Paperback
A fall festival. An old mansion. And a death that's anything but accidental.When a car plunges off a cliff during Caper Cove's beloved harvest celebration, former criminal attorney turned caterer Claire Fontaine assumes it's a tragic accident, until the medical examiner reveals the truth: the victim, a local psychic, was already dead.Now Claire finds herself investigating beneath the looming shadow of LaMaison, a storied cliffside mansion rumored to be cursed. As she prepares to cater its extravagant Halloween Ball, Claire uncovers a century-old injustice tied to stolen land, silenced women, and a ghost who may not be ready to rest.Things turn personal when Claire spots a woman who looks exactly like her sister Aurora, missing for twenty years, on the mansion grounds. Is it coincidence, wishful thinking...or something far more unsettling?With quirky friends, a skeptical detective roommate, and her sharp legal instincts, Claire must untangle a mystery where the past refuses to stay buried, before another death turns this cozy coastal town upside down.An atmospheric, modern mystery filled with small-town secrets, historic intrigue, and fall vibes.
