Murder at Ravenswood Hall

'Daddy' Orwatt and his beautiful, cunning and much younger wife, Amiyah, a budding mystery writer who needs material for her latest novel, “Murder at Ravenswood Hall”, have invited his top executives to his 70th birthday party for dinner and a murder mystery game. The game is his way of finding his successor to hand over the power and control to his mega-billion dollar corporation. This would be the final test of their loyalty and leadership ability.

Amiyah takes this game a step further than her unwitting husband intended. The game is taken over by legendary ghosts of the Cape Fear region. Who will die and who will get the top job? The mystery takes an unusual turn as it travels north from Wilmington, NC to Buffalo, NY following yet another murder!

Murder, mystery and the supernatural all come together to change their lives…forever!

“Murder at Ravenswood Hall” is Michael's second novel. His first, “Where the Road Begins”, is a coming of age story of a boy and his friends growing up in South Buffalo, NY, which was published in 2011.

This, his second novel, is a murder mystery that conjures up local legends and myths of long dead souls from the Southeastern North Carolina Coast. Part of the journey to solve one of the murders takes us from Wilmington back to Buffalo. The novel includes original poems written by the author.
