Watergrave – An Abbey Rhodes Mystery by Mitchell S. Karnes

Watergrave introduces readers to Detective Abbey Rhodes and a case that immediately sets the tone for the series—dark, complex, and driven by questions that go far beyond the crime itself.

When a series of unsettling discoveries surfaces, Abbey Rhodes is pulled into an investigation where nothing is as straightforward as it first appears. As she follows the trail, the case forces her to confront buried truths, hidden motives, and the fragile line between justice and vengeance.

With psychological depth and a steady sense of moral tension, Watergrave lays the foundation for the Abbey Rhodes Mystery Series. It is a gripping debut that establishes the characters, themes, and stakes that continue to unfold throughout the series.

This first installment is perfect for readers who appreciate intelligent crime fiction with purpose, restraint, and lasting impact.

New readers may begin with Watergrave, the first book in the series, or explore later installments as standalone mysteries.
