Book Description

May 1, 2003 1590802276 978-1590802274 2
During the 1940's the women attending Regina College insisted a beautiful young woman wearing a 'fancy dress' haunted the halls near the chapel. Many claimed to see the apparition often entering, sitting, and softly crooning a mournful melody. Stories of the 'Rosary Bride' continue from generation to generation.

Fifty years later, during the renovation of the college library, workers expose a skeleton. Grace Marsden, present at the discovery is drawn into the search for the victim's identity, fearing the remains will lead to skeletons in her own family closet. Against her husband, her best friend, and her own common sense Grace determines to find the truth. Her involvement grows beyond her control when the dead woman reaches out to her.

Complications arise when the investigating police inspector dredges up more old secrets and betrayal. Ignoring her husband's theory that the Inspector's motives are less than honorable, Grace continues her quest to solve the decades old homicide. Desperate to know the truth, Grace enlists the help of Sister Andrew, a nun who lived at Rosary during the 40's and has chronicled the college's history. But all too soon the treachery of the past meets the future and once again lives are lost.

Can Grace name the 'Rosary Bride' before her killer strikes again?

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The Rosary Bride is one of those books you simply don't want to end! The characters are so real they might live next door, and the writing is so smooth, you can see, smell, and hear every detail. Luisa Buehler has a gift for bringing everything to life and we hope that everyone who reads it will feel the same way we did when we read it.

Watch for more stories in the Grace Marsden Mystery Series.

From the Author

I welcome your comments and your own stories about creepy happenings at your college, local graveyard, old houses, forest preserves, public buildings, etc. I especially welcome stories from Rosary and Concordia alumni. Which floor at your college had the bathroom with the stall that seemed to be occupied by a child's feet? Was it the wretched sobbing from the choir loft that kept you in your dorm room on moonless nights? I would love to hear your urban legends. Or are they?

Sincere regards,
Luisa

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully Deadly!, July 7, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rosary Bride: A Cloistered Death (A Grace Marsden Mystery Book One) (Grace Marsden Mysteries) (Paperback)
The Rosary Bride is one of those books you don't want to end. Luisa Buehler makes her characters so real you can't help but love them or hate them! With a flair for description, Buehler takes you into the damp halls and keeps you looking over your shoulder! Well written, stylish, and engrossing, well worth the investment of time and money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Two men and a lady, February 28, 2005
This review is from: The Rosary Bride: A Cloistered Death (A Grace Marsden Mystery Book One) (Grace Marsden Mysteries) (Paperback)
How can anyone resist a smart heroine and not one but two gorgeous leading men? The Rosary Bride is a great read for anyone concerned with old college buiildings and the ghosts that seem to inhabit so many of those hallowed halls of learning. Throw in an old, old murder and a woman caught between two attractive guys, and reading this one at high speed is a given.
