Worse Than a Thief - Softcover

The charming shores of Kittery, Maine were rocked by the brutal murders of two women. A year later, the crimes have not been solved and Chief Alexander Bridge is pulling out what's left of his hair. Meanwhile, Regina Sabatino Fornier's husband has left her for a younger blonde. Reggie calls up what is left of her dignity and prepares for a new life. Frightened and ill-prepared, she takes a job as a waitress in a Kittery Foreside cafe and rents the tiny house that was the scene of last year's murders. But time has not healed that house. Strange occurrences abound: a Victrola plays cowgirl songs, two ghostly cats slink around, and Reggie finds an envelope full of questions about what happened to Sunny Sundergaard and Catherine Black. And yet, the little house offers Reggie a haven to rebuild her life, with the help of a canine companion, the local veterinarian, and his granddaughter. Tensions mount as two Kittery residents disappear and Reggie is thrown into the terrifying web of a killer who hides behind a friendly, neighborhood face.
