A Chain of Pearls
Welcome to A Chain of Pearls by Raemi A Ray Blog Tour hosted by Author Marketing Experts.
About the Book
The last thing she wants is to dig up the past…
When the body of a celebrated journalist is fished from the Edgartown Harbor, the official report rules his death accidental. But why was he alone on a senator’s yacht during a nor’easter? That’s only the first question London-based lawyer Kyra Gibson has when she arrives on the idyllic island of Martha’s Vineyard to settle her estranged father’s affairs.
She’s not looking for closure. She’s not seen him in decades since he left her with her aunt following her mother’s death. But as Kyra delves deeper into her father’s life, she learns he had many regrets and wasn’t as retired as she believed. The more Kyra discovers, the more questions she has. With the help of world-weary detective, Tarek Collins, they uncover a web of intrigue and corruption involving a powerful senator, a dubious energy company, and brutal murder.
As they chase down clues, Kyra and Tarek flirt with danger and race against time to solve the murders and uncover the dark secrets lurking beneath Martha’s Vineyard’s picturesque façade of old money wealth and privilege.
This is the first book in the Martha’s Vineyard Murders series. The second novel, The Wraith’s Return, will be available later this summer, followed by Widow’s Walk in the fall.
A Chain of Pearls is a top indie mystery and crime pick from Barnes & Noble!
Praise for A Chain of Pearls
That cover! It pulled me in but the fantastic writing kept me turning pages. Set in the charming countryside of Martha’s Vineyard, what’s not to love? Add tragedy sprinkled with secrets and I was all in. Kyra is a likable character and her relationship with the sheriff leaves me wondering if something is brewing… The father-daughter strained relationship is one all too familiar to me and drew me in further. The timing was good, editing was great, and the twists kept coming. With this being the first book in a series, I was apprehensive about a cliffhanger ending (ugh). I’m happy to report all the loose ends are neatly tied in a bow for a wonderful ending. I’m looking forward to the next books in the series.
