Death At Will: A Turn-of-the-Century Cozy Mystery (Adele Gossling Mysteries: Book 3)
About this ebook
Teddy Roosevelt is running for president and even Arrojo can’t deny progressive reforms are here to stay. Rebecca Gold, one of the era’s New Women, chooses just this moment in time to set up her law practice in Arrojo and lands the affluent Thea Marsh as her first client.
When Thea dies unexpectedly, the police begin their investigation by turning to her own family. The beloved and favored eldest son, Theo, is accused of the crime. Could this man really be guilty of matricide?
Rebeca doesn’t think so. She turns to her new friend in town, businesswoman and fellow suffragist Adele Gossling, to help prove it. Adele has already helped the local police solve a few crimes, much to the shock of the town’s conservative citizens. Despite promises never to involve herself in crime detection again, how can she refuse a friend in need?
Will Adele make a case against Theo’s guilt out of a stained teacup, a fountain pen nib, ashes that should have been in the fireplace, and daisies that should have been fresh? Or will Theo go to the gallows and the real murderer escape justice?
Find out in this third installment of the Adele Gossling Mysteries, the compelling early 20th century series spearheaded by Adele Gossling and her spiritual sidekick, Nin Branch, as they set out to prove women can be crime busters too!

About the author
As soon as Tam May started her first novel at the age of fourteen, writing became her voice. She writes engaging, fun-to-solve cozy mysteries set in the past. Her mysteries empower readers with a sense of “justice is done” for women, both dead and alive. Her fiction is set in the San Francisco Bay Area because she adores sourdough bread, Ghirardelli chocolate, and San Francisco history.
Tam is the author of the Adele Gossling Mysteries which take place in the early 20th century and feature sassy suffragist and epistolary expert Adele Gossling whose talent for solving crimes doesn’t sit well with her town’s Victorian ideas about women’s place in life.
Tam has also written historical fiction about women defying the emotional and psychological confinements of their era. Her post-World War II short story collection, Lessons From My Mother’s Life, debuted at #1 in its category on Amazon, and the first book of her Gilded Age family saga, the Waxwood Series, The Specter, is in the top 20 in several categories and is available for free.
Although Tam left her heart in San Francisco, she lives in Texas because it’s cheaper. When she’s not writing, she’s devouring everything classic (books, films, art, music) and concocting yummy vegetarian dishes in her kitchen.
