About this ebook

The last thing she wants is to dig up the past…

When the body of a celebrated journalist is fished from the Edgartown Harbor, the official report rules his death accidental. But why was he alone on a senator’s yacht during a nor’easter? That’s only the first question London-based lawyer Kyra Gibson has when she arrives on the idyllic island of Martha’s Vineyard to settle her estranged father’s affairs.

She’s not looking for closure. She’s not seen him in decades since he left her with her aunt following her mother’s death. But as Kyra delves deeper into her father’s life, she learns he had many regrets and wasn’t as retired as she believed. The more Kyra discovers, the more questions she has. With the help of world-weary detective, Tarek Collins, they uncover a web of intrigue and corruption involving a powerful senator, a dubious energy company, and brutal murder.

As they chase down clues, Kyra and Tarek flirt with danger and race against time to solve the murders and uncover the dark secrets lurking beneath Martha’s Vineyard’s picturesque façade of old money wealth and privilege.

But why was he alone on a senator’s yacht during a nor’easter? That’s only the first question London-based lawyer Kyra Gibs...

This was an entertaining mystery. It was cool how the clues (pearls) were left. I liked how Kyra and Detective Collins worked together. I wasn't surprised by who the villain was, pleasure was more in getting there,but how they got involved didn't make sense. There is still one unresolved issue left. I would read the next book. If you like a mystery with a small hint of romance, you may enjoy this book.

A mystery at Martha's Vineyard. Kyra has come to settle her fathers estate, even though she is not fond of him. Something is not right so she ask Tarek to help her investigate. What happens when more murders show up? Can they figure it out? How deep with the mystery go? Will she see her family in a different way?. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

First I’ll start by saying I’ve read books two and three on this series so it was nice to go back and see how it all started for Kyra and her new home.

I thought this was a well paced and imm
