Murder in Mellingham

The rocky New England coast shelters the quiet village of Mellingham but Beth O'Donnell's annual visit shatters the normal calm. With her biting tongue and cynical view of life, she unsettles even the most placid villagers. Those who know her know to avoid her. When she is found dead in her brother's guest cottage after a cocktail party, Chief of Police Joe Silva has plenty of suspects and plenty of villagers heaving a sigh of relief.This is number 1 in the series. Number 2 is "Double Take."
