Publisher Description

A reverend haunted by grief.

A killer obsessed with patterns.

A mystery that refuses to stay buried.

Cici Gurule returns to Santa Fe, hoping to find peace after her twin sister's unsolved murder. But when another body surfaces—killed in the same ritualistic way—her nightmare reignites.

Driven by justice and guided by her sister's ghostly whispers, Cici teams up with Detective Sam Chastain. Their search leads through mountain trails and twisted clues, revealing a killer who's just getting started.

A gripping, atmospheric mystery that blends spiritual suspense with relentless pacing—perfect for fans of Tana French, Louise Penny, and Nevada Barr.

Excellent!

A fast-paced murder mystery with a rich setting in America’s oldest capital city. An engaging cast of sympathetic heros, organized criminals and supernatural elements make for a fun and compelling read.

A PILGRIMAGE TO DEATH

Reverend Cici,has taken on another role, with the murder of her twin, a year ago, and now a murder of a fellow parishioner, with the same method.
Sam, a friend, hiking partner, and a detective, on weekly joints now, and made better sermons for her, With 2 murder victims now known to her, she feels there will be more, if she doesn’t look into it. Is there secrets that never was told to her, a reason for the wolf emblem. A new author, for me, and she delivered a good, descriptive plot, of the settings, also of the characters. Readers will definitely enjoy this mystery story.
Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
