The Murder at the Abbey

- A Detective Santy Mystery

About The Murder at the Abbey

In this murder/mystery, the peaceful world of a monastery in Orange County, California is shaken apart when one of its priests is murdered. Who would want to kill him? Tempers have been running high in Silverado Canyon ever since the abbey purchased land to expand its property. Was the murderer an eco-terrorist who feared the expansion project might cause the habitat destruction of an endangered toad? Or maybe was it the powerful anti-development lawyer who has fought tooth and nail to stop every construction project in the canyon? Maybe it was the owner of the motorcycle bar, Kline's Corner, who got fed up with the priest's complaints about the bar's live music interrupting Mass and Vespers?Detective Clarissa Santy is trying to solve the murder, while at the same time, she's busy reintroducing her father to the world outside of prison, where he's spent the past 30 years for a murder conviction. Between keeping him out of trouble, babysitting a Criminal Justice Intern from UCI, and dating again after losing her husband several years ago, her life has never seemed so complicated.
