Introduction

Multi-awardwinning, Bestselling Romantic Mystery Series

Saving Grace kicks the What Doesn't Kill You series off with voodoo, laughs, and suspense.

Katie Connell is a high-strung attorney whose sloppy drinking habits and stunted love life collide hilariously during a doomed celebrity case in Dallas. She flees Texas for the Caribbean and escapes professional humiliation, a broken heart, and a wicked Bloody Mary habit, but ends up trading one set of problems for another when she begins to investigate the suspicious deaths of her parents on the island of St. Marcos. She's bewitched by the voodoo spirit of an abandoned house in the rainforest and discovers that she's as much a danger to herself as the island's bad guys are.

Saving Grace
(What Doesn't Kill You, #1): A Katie Romantic Mystery

Pamela Fagan Hutchins


Chapter One
Last year sucked, and this one was already worse.
Last year, when my parents died in an “accident” on their Caribbean vacation, I’d been working too hard to listen to my instincts, which were screaming “bullshit” so loud I almost went deaf in my third ear. I was preparing for the biggest case of my career, so I sort of had an excuse that worked for me as long as I showed up for happy hour, but the truth was, I was obsessed with the private investigator assigned to my case. ... view entire excerpt...

Discussion Questions

1. Katie says she’s going to St. Marcos to find out what happened to her parents and to stop drinking. Do you think these were her real reasons or the only reasons? Were you able to relate to her desire to run away from her problems?

2. Was it believable to you that Katie’s parents were killed because they had recognized Gregory and Lisa? Was it plausible that the sole investigator on the island was in Gregory’s pocket?

3. Why do you think Katie buried her mother’s ring, and did you agree with her decision? What importance does her family play in her life?
