Mystery Woman Sleuth
When Emily Cavanaugh inherits a fortune from her great aunt,
she expects her life to change. She doesn't expect to embark
on a murder investigation, confront the man who broke her
heart 35 years before, and nearly lose her own life. Emily travels to the sleepy coastal village of Stony Beach,
Oregon, to claim her inheritance, centered in a beautiful
Victorian estate called Windy Corner but also including a
substantial portion of the real estate of the whole town. As
she gets to know the town's eccentric inhabitants--including
her own once-and-possibly-future love, Sheriff Luke
Richards--she learns of a covert plan to develop Stony Beach
into a major resort. She also hears hints that her aunt may
have been murdered. Soon another suspicious death confirms
this, and before long Emily herself experiences a near-fatal
accident. Meanwhile, Emily reads PERSUASION, hoping to find belated
happiness with her first love as Anne Elliot did with
Captain Wentworth. She notices a similarity between her
not-quite-cousin Brock Runcible, heir to a smaller portion
of her aunt's property, and Mr. Elliot in PERSUASION, and
her suspicions of Brock crystallize. But as she and Luke
continue to investigate and events speed toward a climax,
Emily realizes that underneath the innocent-looking rocks of
Stony Beach lurk festering jealousies that would have
shocked even the worst of Jane Austen's charming reprobates.
