Rachel Selle writes history-filled mystery stories set in Europe. A teacher at a German elementary school by day, and author by night, she finds inspiration in her travels through Europe.

Each installment explores its host country's art, history, food, culture, and language. Stay tuned for the group's next adventure in France.
