#1 International Audible and Kindle Bestseller & Best Thrillers Book Awards Finalist

"Verity Easton is one of the year's best paranormal thrillers! Wildsmith is a master of world-building. In her hands, 1930s Egypt is a truly visceral place seen through the eyes of a curious and vulnerable child, where every sound and scent comes alive on the page. All aboard for an uncommonly satisfying murder mystery." -BestThrillers.com

 

Murder and mayhem abound in this thrilling return to the 1930s as a young woman uncovers her connection to the power and magic of her ancient Egyptian ancestors.

 

Verity is swept away from England to Egypt when her father, a professor at the British Museum, is assigned to discover the final resting place of Nefertiti. This fascinating world helps Verity feel a connection to her dead Egyptian mother like never before. However, her newfound home is rife with mysterious murders. Will Verity be able to discover the source of the violence that surrounds her before it’s too late?

 

If you enjoy Agatha Christie’s murder mysteries, the mysticism of Sherlock Holmes stories, the descriptive writing style of Daphne du Maurier, or uncovering the secrets of ancient Egypt, you’ll adore this riveting, tragic story.

 

Although Verity Easton is a standalone novel, one beloved crossover character from my first novel, Hattie Vavaseur, makes a cameo appearance!

Hattie Vavaseur
#1 International Audible & Kindle Bestseller

"A deliciously supernatural mystery and love story best paired with a glass of a sherry, a crackling fire, and a keen eye for secret messages hidden throughout." -BestThrillers.com

If you enjoy the suspense of Agatha Christie, the cerebral Sherlock Holmes mysteries by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the descriptive writing style of Daphne du Maurier, or the humor of P.G. Wodehouse, you'll adore this supernatural mystery, sprinkled with humor and romance. Watch out for secret messages hidden throughout the text!

 

Suffering from memory problems in her old age, Hattie Vavaseur is swept off to a curious, old mansion, where she meets the enigmatic and volatile master of the house. With the assistance of a flamboyant medium, she also tries to help discover the murderer of an American salesman. Yet, throughout her adventures, Hattie's existence evolves into a single purpose: uncovering the greatest mystery of her past.

Hattie Vavaseur

I had so much fun chatting with Rebecca about her fantastic mysteries and all things cozy. I had so much fun recording this, Snoops and Sleuths, and I hope you'll enjoy following her and finding out about her incredible books.

 I've always been fascinated by ancient Egypt. I was particularly intrigued by a woman named Dorothy Eady, a British woman who believed she was the reincarnation of an Egyptian priestess. That, combined with the fact that Nefertiti was such an important woman in Egyptian history, yet her tomb has never been found, inspired me to write this story of Verity.

Book Lovers

Author M. Rebecca Wildsmith is a master of world-building. In her hands, 1930s Egypt is a truly visceral place seen through the eyes of a curious and vulnerable child, where every sound and scent comes alive on the page.  Throughout, Wildsmith walks a delicate line between cinema and overly descriptive literature in her scene descriptions, ensuring that the pace is never slowed, and yet, every observation is palpable.

Verity Easton Book Review

In the early going, author M. Rebecca Wildsmith’s prose appears as formal and frosty as Hattie herself. Yet, there is a richness in the descriptions of places and observations of people that hooks the reader. Before long, it becomes clear how integral and intentional that initial setup is. Wildsmith has smartly crafted Hattie as a clever observer, and it is not a far leap to draw comparisons between Agatha Christie’s beloved sleuthing spinster Miss Marple, the cerebral thought processes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, and Christie’s delightfully snobbish sleuth, Hercule Poirot.
