POPULATION 895…..
…..and dropping. Torie O’Shea is a certified genealogist, historian, tour guide and mother of three. Her quaint little town of New Kassel, Missouri is located on the Mississippi River and is full of the usual tourist traps. Wonderful restaurants with cutsie names like The Smells Good Café, historical buildings and bed and breakfasts, specialty shops and antique row. It’s also home to a great many quirky characters, dark secrets, and dead bodies. Since the town’s historical nature is what draws the tourists to town, it’s also what is at the bottom of some of the unsolved mysteries and current crimes. Armed with a library card and an acerbic wit, Torie—with the help of her step-father, the sheriff—is the perfect person to solve these crimes.
I hope that you’ll take the time to visit New Kassel, Missouri. Take a hay ride, eat some pie and listen to some blue grass. If you want to share in Torie’s adventures, they are . . .
