Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Fiona Mapleton writes paranormal cozy mysteries that celebrate found family, impossible love, and protagonists who solve the unsolvable. The Thornfield Hollow Mysteries feature Mara Westfield, a blind medium who teams up with the ghost of a 1952 murder victim to solve cold cases and catch killers. When not writing about ghosts and small-town secrets, Fiona can be found enjoying her two rough collies, drinking too much coffee, and plotting the perfect murder (on paper, of course).
