Seventeen-year-old Lisa Jacobs is determined to solve her father’s gruesome murder. But before she can investigate in her own small town, she is forced to spend the summer with her Uncle Clayton, the owner of Grand Hallow–a massive funeral and mortuary operation the size of a small city. Her move to Grand Hallow only deepens the mystery as she begins to suspect the strange and chilling occurrences there are linked to her father’s death. With the help of her acid-tongued best friend and deadbeat brother, Lisa must unravel the secrets of Grand Hallow–before it’s too late.
A Word from the Author
I describe In the Graveyard Antemortem, as “being like a Nancy Drew mystery for older teens and adults—with gore. I never set out to write a mystery. I knew I wanted it to be a fun and scary suspense/horror novel. But as I was writing, there was this moment of, ‘Oh God, I think I’m writing a mystery!’ I avoided the thought as it seemed daunting at first. But then I realized I had to embrace the mystery element to do the story justice.
