For Better or Murder
It’s wedding season with a spooky twist! The Holy Terrors are trying to tie the knot while solving a ghostly murder in the latest witty, creeptastic paranormal mystery from New York Times bestselling British fantasy author Simon R. Green.
There are those who say seagulls cry over the sins of mankind. And that if we could only get our act together, they could stop crying . . .
Holy Terrors dream team – actress Diana Hunt and her partner in crime (solving) young bishop Alistair Kincaid – are getting married! The plan is to hold a small ceremony with just some family and friends at a charming and secluded hotel in Cornwall. But in true Holy Terrors fashion, the Pale Rider hotel carries the legend of a killer ghost rider and his skeleton horse, which sets the perfect tone for a cheerful occasion!
Trying to make the best out of the stormy weekend and seemingly haunted place, spirits fall even lower when one of the guests is found murdered in the hallway. Did the legendary pale rider strike again or is there something more sinister going on – and will Diana and Alistair finally have the chance to say yes?
The ‘hugely entertaining’ (Booklist) Holy Terrors Mysteries are perfect for fans of Simon R. Green’s urban fantasy novels, authors Jim Butcher, Terry Pratchett and Ben Aaronovitch, as well as those who enjoy American Horror Story, The X-Files and murder mysteries with a supernatural twist.

Whether he's guiding readers through the eerie alleyways of the Nightside, a city where it’s always 3 a.m. and miracles cost extra, or unleashing chaos in the multiverse with the Deathstalker saga, Green never settles for the expected. His stories are darkly funny, unabashedly strange, and full of sharp edges hidden beneath layers of magic and menace.
