About Murder Runs in the Family
Riotous romp of a mystery! ―New York Times bestselling author Leslie Meier"A knockout series debut from a veteran author…a heartrending tale of how complicated families can be." ―Kirkus Reviews, Starred ReviewAmber thought she had troubles before her grandma was arrested for murder…Former PI-in-training Amber Winslow has decided to flee her life in the dead of night, carrying nothing but the clothes on her back. Down on her luck and with no other choice, she heads to the sunny state of Arizona to the luxury accommodations of her grandmother's retirement community. Never mind that Amber's never actually met her estranged and eccentric Grandma Jade.As soon as she sneaks her things into Seven Ponds (a place she technically doesn't qualify for and definitely can't afford), she's shocked to learn that George Vincent, a.k.a. the Admiral, was found dead the very night of her arrival. What's even more shocking is that no one seems particularly distraught over the news of the Admiral's death or the disappearance of his prize pet tortoise. All anyone can talk about is a missing Vincent family heirloom, and they're quick to blame Jade for both the Admiral's murder and the theft of the priceless ring.Amber doesn't want to admit the woman she's just met―and who accepted her without question―could be behind the Admiral's death, and she's determined to clear her grandmother's name no matter the cost.
