Summary

A girl tormented by an entity that knows too much.
 
A priest summoned back into a darkness he buried long ago.
 
And a possession that may not belong to either of them.
 
When Clara walks into Father Gabriel’s rectory claiming to be haunted, he expects yet another fractured soul misdiagnosed as demonic. But what lies beneath her skin isn’t merely torment—it’s familiar. The voice inside her knows things it shouldn’t. Things no one else could. Things about him.
 
Bound by ritual and guilt, Gabriel agrees to begin the rite. But each prayer peels back the façade he’s built over decades, revealing a childhood secret, a forgotten plea, and a long-abandoned key that may unlock more than memory. As Clara’s identity begins to blur and Gabriel’s sanity falters, both become trapped in a confrontation with something far older—and far more intimate—than evil.
 
Told through two interwoven perspectives, Crypt... P is a claustrophobic descent into shared guilt, generational haunting, and the cost of spiritual denial. Every chapter unspools another layer of truth, where the lines between victim and vessel, confessor and possessed, are never quite where they seem.
 
Some prayers are answered.
 
Others come back to collect.
 
What if the thing inside her didn’t enter—
 
What if it was given?
 
***

From possessions and cursed artifacts to folklore and conspiracies, these tales weave chilling atmosphere with relentless suspense, always ending in a twist that lingers long after the final page.
 
Each book carries a cryptic letter in its title. Read to the end, and you may glimpse what it truly stands for. Together, they form a haunting tapestry bound by one truth: the dead never rest quietly.

    Will Lady Caroline add another feather to her detective cap, or will she become buzzard meat? 
    Switzerland, 1925 
    A rare bird is nesting in the lush summer meadows of the Swiss Alps, and the grizzled members of Uncle Albert’s Royal Society for Natural History Appreciation travel en masse to get a closer look. 
    The fact that they will be encamped at an opulent villa, coupled with the promise of a midsummer party, persuades his niece, and unenthusiastic secretary, Lady Caroline, to follow suit. 
    As the champagne flows, and tales of rare birds grow taller, a killer makes a bold move. One of the more risque guests is strangled with her own elaborate dress. When a rakish rogue, a charm-the-birds-out-of-the-trees kind of man, is picked off next, the police speculate that someone is stalking the more exotic specimens of this country house party. 
    Dismissing this bird-brain idea, Lady Caroline suspects instead that a cunning killer is using the party to feather their nest. Ready as ever for a good scavenger hunt, she follows the clues to the bad egg spoiling all the fun. 
    A Body in the Villa is Book 3 of the Lady Caroline Murder Mysteries series. In the glamorous world of 1920s Europe, money and privilege rub shoulders, and greed, envy, and murder are never far behind. Follow Lady Caroline, intelligent and witty, with a fondness for breaking rules, on a fun romp through the golden age of murder mysteries. Each book contains the requisite eccentric characters, fun historical tidbits, and puzzling murders with no gore or gloom.
