Mabel and the Privy of Doom
(2026)(The fifth book in the Mysteries of Medicine Spring series)
A novel by Susan Kimmel Wright
Mabel plans to bring the joys of volunteering to the masses…if she doesn’t fall victim to an
ancient curse first.
A university archeology team has come to excavate an old privy on the grounds of the Thompson
estate, home of Medicine Spring’s first white settler. They hope to retrieve items of historic
interest, but rumors of lost treasure and dark curses swirl around the project.
Mabel has joined the dig as a volunteer, despite her reluctance to touch anything collected from
the ancient outhouse pit. It doesn’t take long, however, before she realizes a few dirt-encrusted
artifacts are the least of her worries.
She doesn’t believe in curses, but accidents and misfortune plague team members—including
Mabel herself. She begins to wonder if there might be some truth in the old stories. When a
body turns up on the site, it appears the curse has transformed from local legend to deadly reality.
Will Mabel be its next victim?
