A cleverly-designed murder mystery, with a sharp, determined heroine, an entertainingly dysfunctional set of suspects, and enough suspense and plot twists to keep readers guessing until the end. -Catherine Langrehr for IndieReader
Giebfried and Wells deliver a wonderfully atmospheric murder mystery. - Kirkus Reviews
In 1955, Alexandra Durant is unexpectedly dismissed from her graduate program mere months before receiving her PhD. Hardened by her experiences and the disease that took away her mother's memory, Alexandra is wary when the powerful dean of the psychology department, John Marlowe, offers her a servant position at his elderly mother's house with the dangling promise that - if she's a good girl - she'll get her life back.
Now, secluded on a private island off the coast of Maine, Alexandra is confronted by mysteries far more sinister than anything John Marlowe let on: bereaved inhabitants that descend upon the island with dark secrets and an unwelcome house guest with his own hidden past.
And when it all leads to a gruesome murder, Alexandra must gather the unlikely skill of a near-perfect memory and the knowledge of how the mind works to find out who the killer is - and make sure that she's not next.
A thrilling, gripping murder-mystery set against the backdrop of a stark New England winter and filled with colorfully crude characters, The Marlowe Murders is a must-read for lovers of psychological twists and dark humor.
