About this ebook

First, a man was staring at her from a tree.

Then there was a dead man in her garden.

And now, Maggie Kelburn is investigating another murder.

 

Maggie spots a young man up a tree in the public lane behind her house. He soon flees but leaves behind three plastic coins. Maggie discovers the coins are part of a treasure hunting game.

 

A few hours later, Maggie is shocked to find a dead body in her back garden. It appears he fell from the tree which the young man was in earlier.

 

The police take over. They conclude the man, Harvey Chester, died as a result of an accident.

 

His grieving sister isn’t convinced. She thinks Harvey was murdered and asks Maggie to prove it.

 

Maggie agrees and is soon caught up in a secret world of treasure hunting. To her dismay, she discovers many members of Harvey’s group hated him with a vengeance. Furthermore, they constantly lie to Maggie when she questions them about Harvey’s death.

 

Maggie persists, and it’s not long before she makes a connection between Harvey’s death and the members of the treasure-hunting group.

 

But the killer is aware of Maggie’s every move, and when she gets too close to the truth, the killer decides to make a move on Maggie.

 

 

Ratings and reviews

This is the second in the series and it was as good as the first. I love Maggie and Sam - they are adorable characters and Jake is rather like my own son. There were lots of twists to keep me guessing as to who the culprit is. This is a wonderful compelling story! I could read more about Maggie and Sam!

I love these stories, i just wish it was longer i can get lossed in them. This will also make a GREAT tv series.... Think about it 😉, thank you for these books.

This was a great mystery read. I was drawn in from the beginning and kept interested throughout. The storyline and characters are well written. This was a hard book to put down. I highly recommend reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
