My third Mary MacDougall Mystery—A DAUGHTER’S DOUBT—is almost done. A few more weeks at most.

For each of my three Mary covers, I’ve turned to public domain art depicting young women at the turn of the 20th century. The newest Mary, on the top, shows her walking a beach. She is from a painting by Spanish artist Joaquin Sorolla. And she’s my favorite cover girl so far. The bottom Mary in the hat is from the first novella, A PRETTY LITTLE PLOT. Right above her is Mary from THE STOLEN STAR.
