Silencing the Siren

Andrew Grayson thought he had everything… until he met her.

The indulged son of wealthy parents, Andrew has always gotten whatever he wanted almost before he knew he wanted it—clothes, gadgets… even a car! What more could a young man desire?

Enter Annabel Thompson. Freak show mermaid extraordinaire… in a wheelchair!

Of course, her beauty attracts him. How could it not?  Add to that a kind heart, and Andrew can’t help but fall for her.

If only Annabel’s conjoined legs wouldn’t keep her from living a normal life—one not only accepted but required by those in Andrew’s social circle. Always eager to give their son the best of everything, Andrew’s parents offer Annabel the chance to live that normal life. A fairytale ending for a charming couple.

Right up to the moment Andrew is notified of Annabel’s death.

When things don’t add up, Andrew begins asking some difficult questions, the most important being, “What happened to the little mermaid of the Coney Island freak show?”

Find out in this next book in the Ever After Mysteries, combining beloved fairy tales and mysteries. Silencing the Siren offers a retelling of “The Little Mermaid” that will keep you gripped to the edge of your seat as you watch the story unfold.
