Murder at the Beach

Allison Aldridge wanted a peaceful family vacation---a break from her busy life as a schoolteacher. A charming cottage on the North Carolina coast seemed the perfect escape for her, her college-age children and her new husband, retired police detective Fred Sawyer. Until Allison finds a dead body under a nearby pier---and unsettling signs that their beach house has been searched.

When the overbearing local Realtor is also found dead---supposedly from suicide---Allison and Fred start their own investigation, digging into small-town secrets and rumors of hidden cash. Then Allison's daughter is attacked and critically injured, and Allison and Fred must set a dangerous trap for a greedy killer who's not about to leave any witnesses alive.

This is #3 in An Allison Aldridge Mystery.
