The Sodden Spectators: A Cathryn Harcourt Mystery Short

The Sodden Spectators

Mystery novelist Cathryn Harcourt never met a mystery she couldn’t solve...in the pages of her own books.

Faced with a real-life puzzle on which hangs the happiness of two young lovers, can she find a solution before they’re forced apart?

And when the stakes rise higher than anyone imagined, can she outsmart a wily, unsuspected murderer?

Join Cathryn as she travels from Virginia to Kentucky to Brazil on the tracks of a clever killer.

Includes two bonus stories—Chamber of Vengeance and A Simple Glass of Water.

Chamber of Vengeance

In the shadowy corners of a 1980s Seattle costume shop, Tamsin, a skilled restoration artist, works tirelessly to prepare a haunted wax museum for its grand Halloween debut.

But when a chilling murder disrupts her work, Tamsin finds herself drawn into a web of secrets hidden behind the lifelike figures she restores. As she pieces together clues, danger looms closer, and the truth threatens to unearth more than just the killer.

Chamber of Vengeance is a spine-tingling tale of mystery, artistry, and the darkness that lingers just beneath the surface.

A Simple Glass of Water

Who knew a simple glass of water could hold so much? Or that it could change from half empty to half full in the course of a day?

It carried the seeds of Ruben’s destruction, turned his world upside down, and drowned him in despair.

Might it also offer the key to his salvation?
