"Cover Story" by Elizabeth Adams


About this book:

  “Mary is trying to enjoy a fancy fund-raiser at the Ivy Bay Glass Museum when Henry is pulled away to search for a boat out in the bay. The boat's distress call relayed its approximate position as well as the presence of a fire onboard before cutting out. The rescuers search the water all night, but by morning they haven't found a trace of the boat or the family trapped on it. The community is so upset, fearing the worst for the missing family, that the news of a laptop stolen from the museum is barely noticed. It's only when Mary's sister, Betty, discovers that her bank account has been emptied, as have the accounts of several other prominent citizens, that Mary starts to wonder if these events are connected.”

My personal Rating-
This one had a bit more of a suspenseful ending than more Guidepost mysteries, so I thought that was exciting. Not my favorite in this series, but it was pretty good and an easy read.
 
 
See y’all on Friday with a new review!
