Black Cat Vols. 1-31 - The Salem Massachusetts Mini Mysteries - Lisa Shea - Bog

Kathy Taylor had weathered eight rough years as a black female police officer in Boston - but enough was enough. She turned in her badge, moved up north, and set up shop as a private investigator in historic Salem, Massachusetts. Now she's surrounded by Wiccans and herbalists, by crystal shops and psychic pizza-deliverymen. And her first client has just stepped in the door. Black Cat Vols. 1-31 contains the ENTIRE COLLECTION of all 31 short stories in the Salem Massachusetts Mini Mysteries series. These stories are: The Lucky Cat, The Mistake, The Knot, The Accident, The Statue, The Onyx Pig, The Yogini, The Play Date, The Dancers, The Dog, The Balance, The Dart, The Roll-Top, The Violin, The Couple, Murderers' Row, The Bath, The Stalker, The Party, The Teardrop, The Dark, Gratitude, The Bride, The Letter, The Costume, The Idols, Memory, The Fright, The Curtains, The Question, and Halloween. This compilation of short stories totals 102,000 words. The short stories in this series were written and loaded one a day from October 1 through October 31, 2014. I have lived in scenic Massachusetts since 1986, with only two brief forays out of state. One of my ancestors was Ann Foster, who died during the Salem Witch Trials. Ann Foster was a grandmother by that time and sacrificed herself to protect her daughter and granddaughter. Ann had been born in England, came over in 1635, and was 75 by the time of the trials. Salem reached its dark depths during those trials from 1692-1693 - but since then has healed, blossomed, and shines. It now features the amazing Peabody Essex Museum, a plethora of gorgeous historic architecture, and a beautiful coastline. It's well worth a visit. If you can't go in person, take a virtual trip through my first-hand descriptions! I support the Salem battered women's shelters.
