A bundle of books #8 (FRAMED BY A FORGERY) and #9 (CATASTROPHE IN A CLOISTER) in Fiona Grace's Lacey Doyle cozy mystery series. This bundle offers books eight and nine in one convenient file, with over 150,000 words of reading.
In FRAMED BY A FORGERY (Book #8), November has arrived, bringing the crisp weather, farms, and the promise of Fall holidays, and Lacey is thrilled to be auctioning off a rare and priceless letter. But after selling it to an eager buyer, the letter turns out to be too good to be true—it's been forged, and the buyer wants his money back. But the person who sold it to her is now dead. Can the forgery and murder be connected? Lacey, with her beloved dog, must solve the crime and unearth the source of the forgery before she herself is implicated and her business is taken away from her.
In CATASTROPHE IN A CLOISTER (Book #9), December has arrived, bringing with it the first touch of Winter and the promise of Christmas. As Wilfordshire comes to life with holiday parties, Lacey is surprised when she receives an unexpected phone call—a mysterious object has been found hidden in the wall of a church. The monks who found it believe it is a rare medieval artifact—one which, if auctioned, can be the Godsend the church needs to save it from looming bankruptcy. Lacey is determined to help them. But when the artifact is stolen and a dead body is found, Lacey finds herself in the midst of a murder. With her reputation on the line, she may be the only one who can solve it.
