Song of Wishrock Harbor
(2017)(The second book in the Invisible Entente series)
A novel by Krista Walsh
In the middle of New Haven's unusual blizzard, private detective Gabriel Mulligan receives a case that will push his Gorgon-Fae abilities to their limits. Six men have been found naked and frozen on the docks of Wishrock Harbor, and a dark shadow is lurking beneath the Haven River.
As the details of his case keep changing, Gabe's hunt for the truth will require him to question the gray line that exists between good and evil.
With the help of his best friend and some unlikely allies, Gabe must sift through the lies to determine who the true monsters are -- even if one of those monsters is himself.
Author Q&A
What inspired you to write the series?
Last fall, Cadis was about to wrap up, and I was thinking about what I wanted to do next. At the same time, I was binge reading Agatha Christie's Poirot mysteries, novels and short stories. I've always enjoyed the way Christie weaves were tales. They're funny, clever, full of twists and turns, and, of course, wrap up with the always fun round-table reveal.
I started to think about how I could use what I love about the cozy mystery style and combine it with my love of fantasy. That's when the prequel novella came to mind. Seven supernatural creatures stuck trying to solve a murder, each one with a solid motive, none of them telling the full truth.
I'd outlined all the short stories in the prequel novella and realized how much more they had to offer, so the series evolved.
Where is New Haven?
The series is set in a fictional place on the Eastern Seaboard. While there are many New Havens in the various states around there, this one is based on none of them.
My New Haven is a tourist town of 100,000. It's the sort of place you might drive road-trip to for the weekend to go antiquing or browse the quaint storefronts and scenery. The supernaturals of this world seem to have taken the name to heart and often stop here in their attempts to remain hidden in clear view.
How will the series be structured?
Each novel will follow one of the characters from the prequel novella, beginning with sorceress Daphne Heartstone in Death at Peony House. The books will be connected and set in chronological order, but for the most part can be read in any order without having anything spoiled or confusing.
Genre: Fantasy
