Description

A new soft-boiled mystery from Edgar Award-winning author Tamara Berry! Amber Winslow thought she had troubles before her grandma was arrested for murder... Amber thought she had troubles before her grandma was arrested for murder... Amber Winslow's life has taken a serious turn for the worse. When an impulsive decision forces her to flee her former life carrying nothing but the clothes on her back, she heads to the sunny state of Arizona and the luxury accommodations of her grandmother's retirement community. Never mind that Amber's never actually met her estranged and eccentric grandmother. As soon as she sneaks her things into Seven Ponds (a place she technically doesn't qualify for and definitely can't afford), she's shocked to learn that George Vincent, a.k.a. the Admiral, was found dead the very night of her arrival. Much to Amber's dismay, no one seems particularly distraught over the news of the Admiral's death or the disappearance of his prize pet tortoise. All anyone can talk about is a missing Vincent family heirloom, and they're quick to blame Jade for both the Admiral's murder and the theft of the priceless ring. Amber doesn't want to admit the woman she's just met-and who accepted her without question-could be a villain, and she's determined to clear her grandmother's name no matter the cost.
