Memento Mori: A Miss Henry Mystery

By Melanie Jackson

A museum devoted to death. A missing mummy. A murder blamed on an ancient curse.

Juliet Henry has seen more than her share of strange people, stranger places, and suspicious deaths, but nothing in her experience has quite prepared her for the Memento Mori Museum in Southern California-a fascinating, unsettling collection of death art, antique mourning customs, macabre relics, and carefully preserved reminders that life is short.

Juliet has come to the museum to assist Esteban as he prepares a dramatic display of his unusual bone puppets for the gala opening of the museum's new modern death art wing. The event is meant to be elegant, exclusive, and unforgettable.

It becomes unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.

Before the champagne can settle and the guests can finish admiring the bizarre exhibits, a murder takes place-and one of the museum's prized mummies vanishes.

The press immediately seizes on the most sensational explanation: a mummy's curse.

But Juliet Henry does not believe in convenient curses, theatrical superstition, or killers hiding behind ancient legends. She knows one thing for certain: the murderer is very much alive.

And if Juliet does not uncover the truth quickly, the killer may strike again.

As the gala guests whisper, the museum staff panic, and rumors spread faster than facts, Juliet must sort through a gallery of suspects, secrets, rivalries, and carefully staged misdirection. In a museum built around death, everyone seems to have something to hide-and some secrets are worth killing for.

Memento Mori, the sixth book in the Miss Henry Cozy Mystery Series, delivers a wonderfully eerie blend of art, mystery, humor, suspense, and classic cozy whodunit charm. Perfect for readers who enjoy clever amateur sleuths, unusual settings, colorful suspects, and mysteries where nothing is quite as it appears.

Step inside the Memento Mori Museum...

But remember: in a place devoted to death, the next exhibit could be you.
