Sleuth of Bears

About the Book

Lily Piper is a young yoga instructor recovering from an accident that left her in a deep depression. She’s slowly working her way back to good health and has even signed up for a challenging open water swim, but something’s still missing - there’s no spark, no excitement, and she’s a little lonely. One day one of her clients tells Lily and a group of fellow students about an autopsy that was accidentally performed on the wrong body at the hospital where she works. She was hoping to send the body to the funeral home as quickly as possible, but when the medical examiner’s report is complete, it states that death was due to homicide! Lily (along with the clients who were present that day) is intrigued and can’t help doing a little investigating. The murkiness of the woman’s death sparks the very type of passion and interest she has been yearning to feel. A second murder, and a blossoming friendship among the group as they bond over discussions about motive and suspects, move the action along. The symbology of the Eye of Horus, the name of Lily’s studio, weaves throughout this tale, inviting the reader to explore deeper metaphysical concepts within the construct of an amateur detective story. Set against the idyllic backdrop of Washington, DC and the Potomac River, Sleuth of Bears is an engrossing and entertaining mystery.
