Publisher's summary

A perfect murder… until it isn’t.

In tribute to Agatha Christie, this modern-day mystery series braids together a mesmerizing tapestry of illusion and enigma set in the idyllic Amish town of Paradise, PA. In Book 1, Tina Sheng and her eccentric friend, Amelia Pak, unravel a human trafficking case.

Now, a year later, Tina Sheng works as a fraud investigator in Paradise, Pennsylvania. She and Amelia find a series of internet posts about a faceless doll that appears with each occurrence of death. The writer warns that a serial killer is at large.

After a beloved friend passes, a similar doll is discovered in his hospital room. Law enforcement reveals no evidence of foul play. Then a few locals are found dead, each with a faceless doll lying beside the bodies. The case takes a twist when the spouse of one of the victims submits an insurance claim.

Tina is pulled into the investigation. To solve the mystery, she and her friends must navigate a web of deceit, greed, and power. As the drama unfolds, the truth may be even more twisted than anyone could have imagined.

Can justice be served?
