Murder at Monterey, (The Thornton Mysteries series , Book #6) - Signed paperback

A seaside birthday celebration at Queenscliff should be a pleasant escape for the Thorntons—but it swiftly turns deadly.

Invited to Monterey, the coastal home of wealthy antiques collector George Carmichael, Alexandra is wary. She and Edith never liked his daughter Prudence at finishing school, and the invitation feels less than friendly. Alexandra suspects George wants to pry into her father’s expertise once again—but this time, the whole family has been summoned.

On their first evening, simmering rivalries erupt—particularly between Prudence and her sister Winifred over a coveted emerald necklace. Alexandra soon realises nearly everyone at Monterey depends financially on George, and resentment hangs thick in the sea air.

When murder strikes that night, Alexandra isn’t shocked.

But she is stunned by who dies.
