Opis

Welcome to delightful cozy reading with a charming woman sleuth, and twisted murder mystery. Reporter Laura Seymour dreams of big things like cracking tough cases and writing front page stories for her newspaper. The problem is, she's stuck covering minor celebrities for the arts and entertainment section. It's a living, but a dull one at best. When she happens to get the scoop on a story before any other reporter in the area, she's sure her editor will give her a chance at a bigger and better news item. Instead he sends her to the flagship resort of the famous von Farron family to cover the CEO's, Edith von Farron, stay there. Disappointed, Laura calls her best friend and socialite, Amy Madison, and the two decide to make a mini vacation out of it. When they arrive at the Seaside Inn, they learn that Edith von Farron disappeared from her yacht the night before. The police suspect a homicide has been committed, and consider everyone as suspects. Laura goes into investigative mode, and decides that she needs to crack the case before the police come back to interview Amy and her again. She begins interviewing the people closest to Edith, the people with the most to gain from her disappearance, but she finds that the more she talks to these people, the more suspects emerge. Then Laura makes a discovery that threatens her life. Rather than run away from the challenge presented to her, however, she summons every ounce of courage she has left and pushes ahead. Laura knows that the only way she'll clear her name, and break the story of her career is to find the element that ties it all together. Through it all, her best friend Amy is right by her side, helping any way that she can. Unlike Laura, Amy has both the funds and the brazenness to draw out people who would normally rather remain hidden. But during the investigation, Laura must confront the fact that even her closest friend has secrets, and those secrets can threaten everything they've worked toward. Throughout it all, Laura keeps her head and watches for the path that will lead to the answers she needs. The case turns out to be both simpler and more complex than Laura and her friends ever imagined. But the question remains: will Laura figure out what happened to the elusive heiress before anyone gets hurt?
