Murder in Gray and White cover

An unpleasant newcomer to Camden-sur-Mer resort checks out sooner than she intended...

The death of Mrs Amy Kinseth was considered no great loss by the residents of the beach retirement community. For Angela and Caledonia, the case offers a glorious opportunity to have some fun as they help their handsome detective friend, Lieutenant Martinez, with a bit of on-site snooping.

For Angela and Caledonia, live-wire veterans of an earlier murder investigation at Camden, the case offers a glorious opportunity to have some fun as they help their handsome detective friend, Lieutenant Martinez, with a bit of on-site snooping. It’s soon clear that awful Amy had indeed been up to something fishy. And with the killer still on the scene, intrepid Angela may be the next victim...
