Synopsis

For fans of Elin Hilderbrand, Liane Moriarty, and Lisa Gardner — Caribbean mystery with soul, heat, and a woman who refuses to stay broken.

Attorney Katie Connell has spent years being the most capable person in any room. Then she has the worst week of her career on live television, and the room she ends up in is a first-class cabin to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where she plans to drink herself into a manageable grief and figure out what's left of her life.

What she finds instead: a haunted plantation estate she buys on impulse, a community that doesn't quite trust the newcomer, and the uneasy suspicion that her parents' deaths on these same islands weren't the accident everyone called them. Estate Annalise is beautiful and broken, exactly like Katie. The locals say it has a jumbie — a spirit — and Katie is starting to believe them.

The investigation pulls Katie into the island's layered history of loyalty, corruption, and old money — and straight toward the wealthy power broker who had her parents killed. She's a lawyer, not a detective. She's also the only person asking the right questions. And someone has noticed.

Saving Grace is the first novel in Pamela Fagan Hutchins' beloved Katie Connell series — sun-soaked and sharply plotted, part mystery, part love story, part recovery narrative. Written by an author who lived on St. Croix and knows these islands from the inside: the warmth, the wildness, the beauty that doesn't fully belong to outsiders, and the secrets the water keeps.

She came to the islands to fall apart. She stayed to find out what her parents died for.

Praise from readers:

“Unputdownable.”
“Clear your calendar—you won’t be able to stop.”
“Hutchins is a master of tension.”
“Captivating mystery with heartfelt romance.”
“Everything shines—the plot, the characters, the writing.”

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A humiliated attorney. An unexpected second chance. Can a house with a twist help her find love and answers?

Texas attorney and alcoholic Katie Connell’s career just melted down before her eyes. After very public failure during a doomed celebrity trial and a heart-wrenching breakup, she avoids rehab by retreating to the tropical island where her parents tragically died. But when she arrives, it becomes obvious that her parents’ supposed accident was cold and calculated... As Katie sorts through the clues, she gets help from an unexpected source: a spirited house named Annalise. Between the kindred ghost, a local singing sensation, and a handsome chef, the quirks of the island throw the former attorney for a major loop. Can Katie pick up the pieces of her life and solve her parents’ murder as part of her fresh new start?

Présentation de l'éditeur

Multi-awardwinning, Bestselling Romantic Mystery Series

Saving Grace kicks the Katie & Annalise series off with voodoo, laughs, and suspense.

Katie Connell is a high-strung attorney whose sloppy drinking habits and stunted love life collide hilariously during a doomed celebrity case in Dallas. She flees Texas for the Caribbean and escapes professional humiliation, a broken heart, and a wicked Bloody Mary habit, but ends up trading one set of problems for another when she begins to investigate the suspicious deaths of her parents on the island of St. Marcos. She’s bewitched by the voodoo spirit of an abandoned house in the rainforest and discovers that she’s as much a danger to herself as the island’s bad guys are.
