The Mermaid's Secret

A missing girl, a reluctant spirit, and a race to solve the case before a very important wedding! Miss Phoebe Astin's much-anticipated day at the aquarium with her fiancé, family and friends, takes a dark turn when a recently captured shark dramatically regurgitates a human arm during its showing. Suddenly, Phoebe finds herself thrust into a chilling mystery that intertwines with the sudden disappearance of a student from Miss Emily Yalden's deportment school. As rumours swirl around the beautiful young student, whose flirtations with her sister's beau have sparked heartache and jealousy, Phoebe seeks the help of a reluctant spirit. An arrest is made, but is there enough evidence for a conviction? With or without the help from the spirit world, Phoebe's fiancé, Detective Harland Stone, is determined to pursue justice and to close the case before a very important date - their wedding day. In the last volume of the Lady Mortician series, engagements, weddings, and spirits abound! Ideal for fans of Deanna Raybourn, Cara Devlin, Irina Shapiro, and Wendy Vella.
