After the death of Elizabeth Parker's great-uncle Martin
Reynolds, the familyβs house in the picturesque Maryland
town of St. Michaels is sold. When the new owners dig up
the pool, they find the body of the man thought to have
run off eight years earlier after embezzling over a
million dollars from the family business.
This grisly discovery not only unearths old questions
about what really happened to the stolen money, but it
brings Detective Joe Muldoon back into the familyβs lives.
Eight years earlier, Elizabethβs cousin Ann reluctantly
broke off her relationship with Joe due to family
pressure. Ann always regretted that decision and now fears
that it is too late for her and Joeβespecially after she
becomes the main suspect.
In a clever and entertaining story with echoes of Jane
Austenβs Persuasion, Elizabeth tries to not only match
wits against a killer whoβs had an eight year head-start,
but to also try her hand at matchmaking.
