Donna Howard Mysteries
Donna Howard researches the provenances of art and antiques. In the process, she occasionally stumbles across a murder that can only be solved with her unique (and at times regrettable) ability to see dead people from the past. Aided by opinionated friends and family members (not to mention demanding significant others), Donna Howard coolly uncovers solutions to historical and contemporary mysteries, no matter how daunting or vexatious.
Donna Howard debuts in a mystery series about what makes people tick. In her day-to-day life, Donna is as ordinary as they come, except for her extraordinary ability to see history, to physically interact with the ghostly remnants of ancient, colonial, and Victorian-age people. When a suspicious death occurs close to home, "then" and "now" collide in ways she can no longer ignore.
With the help of deceased historical people only she can see, Donna Howard investigates the provenance of art and antiques. The setting is the infamous Salem, Massachusetts, and the item in question a haunted silver spoon. The trail of ownership leads Donna to a stash of antiques in an old man's basement, an old man who died in an accident Donna suspects was less than "accidental."
Making the most of her unique ability to speak to remnants of the dead, Donna Howard researches the provenance of art and antiques. This time around, Donna's investigation into a colonial-era portrait from upstate New York unexpectedly uncovers the dark history of her adopted niece, SarahAnn, bringing to light a possible kidnapping and a serial killer who got away scot-free.
Entombed within a cache of holy relics from Medieval England, the ghost of a young boy knows only that he must protect the treasure from a corrupt king. It is up to Donna Howard, an antiquities appraiser who can speak with the spirits, to help him confront his past and reclaim his birthright. Even when the crime is five hundred years old, Donna is determined to solve the case.
