A Murder at Hawthorne Manor: Moonlight Bay Cozy Mystery

Some secrets were meant to stay hidden. This one was worth killing for. When restoration work at historic Hawthorne Manor reveals a hidden study untouched for decades, Grace Hastings expects old maps and family secrets-not murder. But when preservation consultant Dr. Everett Langley is found dead inside, someone clearly wants the past to remain buried. As Grace investigates, she discovers three people who each clashed with Everett before his death. Vivian Hawthorne tried to stop him from digging into her family's private history. Dr. Lydia Pembroke clashed with Everett when he challenged her claim that the newly discovered maps proved her family had been wronged. Marcus Bell came under Everett's scrutiny when questions arose about whether the contractor had accessed the hidden study before its discovery. With a historical document missing and three suspects guarding secrets, Grace must uncover what Everett discovered before his death. But the closer she gets to Hawthorne Manor's secret, the closer the killer gets to making sure she never reveals it.
