Murder on the Precipice (Elizabeth Pennington Mysteries, #1)

When murder checks in, don’t expect mints on your pillow….

Set in a deceptively warm and cozy inn, Murder on the Precipice depicts the story of a missing female guest with eerie similarities to an unsolved disappearance years earlier when the property was used as an all-girls school. Did the girl ignore warnings to stay away from the cliff walk after the fog rolls in at night? Or is the property's dark history repeating itself?

Manhattan interior designer Elizabeth Pennington puts the big city in her rearview mirror and returns to the inn, her childhood home where, in a tragic twist of fate, she lost her parents at a tender age. Faced with her grandmother’s failing health strained by the pressures of running the family business, Elizabeth navigates treacherous waters to save the inn from a killer in their midst. But in her search for the girl as a deadly hurricane barrels up the coast, she uncovers details that question everything she thought she knew about herself, her family and her past.
