The Rosary Bride by Luisa Buehler

Book Description

“The Rosary Bride, is a twisty, taut, compelling story of love gone wrong, a fascinating haunting tale.”  Carolyn Hart


A Catholic women’s college, a skeleton in the library walls, a haunting apparition, and underground tunnels.  Grace
Marsden follows the thin thread of a murder committed fifty years ago right to the steps of the college and into the lives
of alumnae.  The search for the truth puts Grace, her husband and their friends in danger.  She has rattled the chains
of a fifty-year old mystery and somebody living wants to stop her dead in her tracks.  As she unravels more secrets,
Grace’s fears are mounting and so are the suspects.  She sees motives and shadows everywhere until one dark,
moonless night she follows a hunch that takes her across the nuns’ cemetery and into the tunnels under the college.  
Now a killer stalks her down long forgotten corridors.  Evil is intent on repeating history from a night a half century ago.



The Rosary Bride, by Luisa Buehler, begins as follows:

Chapter One

Barely muted by the crash of shattered stone on wood
flooring, a shouted expletive reverberated off the high ceiling
of Regina College's stately library. Sudden silence gripped the
room as a dozen heads swung simultaneously to stare wideeyed
at the two red-faced tradesmen planted toe-to-toe in front
of the massive stone fireplace. The taller of the pair, a beefy
fellow with hard eyes and a stubborn chin, stood bunched in a
boxer's stance, his right arm cocked, his hand balled into a fist.
The shorter man held his ground, but he seemed more shellshocked
than ready to fight. Shoulders drooping, he cradled a
heavy hammer to his chest as he gazed slack-jawed at the
rubble littering the floor around his boots. Unnoticed by either
man, a fine film of masonry dust hung in the air between them
and encircled their heads like misty halos, the final product of a
now gaping wound in the back wall of the fireplace.
In that frozen moment in time, I heard a slight rustling
sound followed by a click, click, click. As if on cue a small
glass bead rolled out of the jagged hole and tumbled to the
floor.
The spell was broken as quickly as it had been cast.
Hurrying forward, I dimly heard the questioning voices of my
friends as I pushed between the two men and bent to retrieve
the tiny bead. Another bead trickled from the wounded
masonry and joined its predecessor on the floor. One more
hung on the edge of a gray shard like a tear poised to drop. I
knelt down to pluck it from the rubble.
The assault on my senses began immediately. A puff of
cold, dank air long imprisoned in the wall pushed against my
face in search of freedom. My stomach tightened and the hair
