Veiled Threat

Giulia Falcone, P.I. in training, is snowed under. Christmas is in a week and she's having major whiplash from her on-again, off-again romance with her boss. But the holiday turns dark when her friends Anya and Laurel's adopted baby girl is kidnapped. When Giulia learns that two nearby kidnappings involving same-sex couples ended with devastating fatalities, Giulia railroads her boss into taking the case. Giulia takes on another undercover assignment, this time in a holiday resort, to find the kidnappers--and the baby--before the worst happens. Baker of brownies and tormenter of characters, Alice Loweecey celebrates the day she jumped the wall with as much enthusiasm as her birthday. She grew up watching Hammer horror films and Scooby-Doo mysteries, which explains a whole lot. When she's not writing humorous mysteries or nightmare-inducing horror fiction, she can be found growing vegetables in her garden and water lilies in her koi pond. Suspense Magazine says: "For those who have not yet read these incredible mysteries written by an actual ex-nun, you're missing out...Brilliant, funny, a great whodunit; this is one writer who readers should definitely make a 'habit' of." *******************Booklist says: "Giulia is a sympathetic, well-drawn character who has built a full life for herself after she leaving the convent, but appealing touches of the former nun remain." –************************Hank Phillippi Ryan says: "You'll love Giulia Driscoll! She's one of a kind-quirky, unpredictable and appealing. With an entertaining cast of characters, a clever premise and Loweecey's unique perspective-this compelling not-quite-cozy is a winner.
