Miss Matilda Hayward has been assigned her first book review for the Women's Journal newspaper and she is very much enjoying Mr Linton Turner's novel, The Pyjama Girl Mystery, until it comes to life. When a young lady is found murdered and left on the church steps dressed only in blue satin pyjamas - just like in the plot of the novel - the author immediately comes under suspicion. But no one can identify the victim. Matilda's beau, Detective Thomas Ashdown, is on the case, and with his partner, Detective Harry Dart, they hire a talented mortician, Miss Phoebe Astin, to illustrate the deceased lady for identification purposes. After Matilda and her friend, Miss Georgina Urry, make Phoebe's acquaintance, the three ladies find themselves unwillingly caught in a battle of words and hearts between an author and a poet with deadly intent. There is secrecy, danger, and love afoot!

From author Helen Goltz comes an exciting new series about love, fate, and putting to rest more than the dead, with a hint of magic, mystery and visions. Miss Phoebe Astin and her brothers, Julius and Ambrose, lead an unconventional life working in the family funeral business - The Economic Undertaker. But Phoebe is not just a talented mortician, she is a medium for the spirit world, and often enjoys the company of her clients before they move on to the next world. When a gentleman lingers behind before passing over to the other side and begs her to investigate his murder, Phoebe contacts her brother's friend, Detective Harland Stone, to explain her concerns. Fortunately, the detective - who is new in town and making his mark - has an open mind and accepts that Phoebe communicates with the dead, but is fixed on finding the evidence to support her claims. It is not long before another body, that of a young woman, is found buried under the hearthstone in a small family home and the likely villain is the very same man who Phoebe's ghost claimed was responsible for his death. Detective Stone is racing against the clock to find the villain and to prevent any further deaths from those that the villain may love or con into marriage. Meanwhile, Julius Astin is doing his best to avoid the persistent mothers and flirting daughters who manage to find a way to corner him, and his younger brother, Ambrose, has lost his heart to Phoebe's friend and reporter, Miss Lilly Lewis, who only has eyes for Julius. There is murder, love and mystery afoot, and it appears that for the Astin family, being dead is no excuse for letting a crime go unpunished! The Missing Bride mystery includes: - A hint of paranormal, fantasy, clairvoyant skills, and visions - A family with a funeral business and all the quirks that come with it - A beautiful and intriguing medium - A handsome detective who is happy to have all the help he can get to solve the mystery - Two handsome undertaker brothers who have their share of adventure and romance - Historical detail accurately researched and set in 1890 Australia.
