Novels
Welcome to Poison Hall
The butler didn't do it--and he has to figure out who did.
When Silas was eleven, his parents were murdered. Now seventeen, he works as the butler for his guardian, Edward Benedict, at Poison Hall, an isolated modern-day Downton Abbey. When Mr. Benedict invites nine people to his home, some strangers and some uncomfortably familiar, Silas is more concerned with his duties than their secrets--until he finds one of them dead.
Snowbound with a killer targeting everyone, Silas will need his skills as a butler and vicarious detective to uncover the truths and lies connecting his employer, his guests, and his family. He might even have to trust someone, but anyone could be the murderer--or murdered. How far will Silas push beyond his restricted world and traumatic past to find answers that could get him killed? And how will he choose between losing his life and losing his life as he knows it?
