New adult mystery novel for Hazel Edwards

March 11, 2018

Congrats to the amazing Hazel Edwards on the publication of her new mystery novel for adults

Celebrant Sleuth

Published by BookPOD, in paperback.

Quinn, a celebrant with style and a few obsessions but a good heart, solves quirky problems, mysteries and the occasional murder at weddings, funerals and naming ceremonies in her country town.
An actor who writes eulogies to die for!

This adult mystery could be read as YA/LGBTQI, as sleuth Quinn is asexual.

Feel a great series coming on!! Congrats again Hazel!
