Reading and Signing Event

If you find yourself in Connecticut on Saturday November 17th, stop into THAT BOOK STORE, the new indie bookstore in Wethersfield, CT at 446 Silas Deane Hwy. I'll be sharing from my latest release MURDER BEYOND THE PRECIPICE starting a 1:00 pm. Hope to see you there.

MURDER BEYOND is set on the rocky coast of Maine (Boothbay Harbor) and is the story of the Livingston Family, who is no stranger to tragedy. Lucretia Livingston, an only child, lost her parents at a young age in what authorities ruled an accident. But locals wonder if the family's wealth was an irresistibly seductive motive for someone crossing the line.

MURDER BEYOND THE PRECIPICE Now Available

In the follow-up to MURDER ON THE PRECIPICE, Elizabeth Pennington's escapades continue in the riveting tale MURDER BEYOND THE PRECIPICE.

The Livingston family is no stranger to tragedy. Losing both parents at a young age in what authorities ruled an accident, Lucretia Livingston, the sole heir to the estate, is left to pick up the pieces. But many locals question the circumstances surrounding their deaths and if the family’s wealth was an irresistibly seductive motive for crossing the line.

Elizabeth Pennington returns to the coast of Maine after receiving an unexpected wedding invitation. Hoping to surprise her friend, she arrives unannounced at the Livingston Estate-turned-inn, only to discover no one knows her whereabouts. Just as disconcerting is the disappearance of the innkeeper's young bride, Lucretia. Frantic for answers, Elizabeth becomes tangled in a tortured trail of deception, betrayal, love lost and murder.
