Priscilla Masters

A bizarre discovery at a Shrewsbury hospital sparks a coroner’s investigation in this “gripping” mystery (Publishers Weekly).

A middle-aged woman walks into the emergency room of a British hospital, cradling a baby in a pink blanket. It’s far too late—the child has been dead for years.

The woman claims to have found the baby in her attic, but it’s not clear whether her rambling explanations are trustworthy—so it’s up to coroner Martha Gunn to determine the true story behind the tragedy and ensure that justice is done …

“Plot twists, procedural details concerning the work of both the police and the coroner, and the protagonists’ personal lives are interwoven throughout … compelling. ” —Booklist

The Martha Gunn Mysteries

Frozen Charlotte

A female coroner teams up with a British police detective to find the culprit behind a deadly fire . . .
 
 When firemen are called to an intense blaze at the Grange in Melverley, England, they find the bodies of Christie Barton, her daughter, and her father-in-law, who suffered from Alzheimer’s. But evidence suggests that this was not a tragic accident related to the dead man’s dementia symptoms. These deaths appear to be deliberate.
 
 Detective Inspector Alex Randall enlists the help of coroner Martha Gunn, but the puzzle deepens with a second house fire—the occupant, a retired nurse, is missing. Where is she, and what links the two fires? The answers lie in a secret buried in the past . . .
 
 “Details of police procedure and the duties of a coroner frame a compelling story. In addition to the crime story, Masters also focuses on Martha’s personal life, as she slowly begins to learn more about her very private colleague Alex and begins to date again, fearing future loneliness as her children get ever closer to leaving home. A nice mix of mystery and human drama.” —Booklist
