She doesn¿t expect to embark on a murder investigation, confront the man who broke her heart thirty-five years before, and nearly lose her own life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmily travels to the sleepy coastal village of Stony Beach, Oregon, to claim her inheritance, centered in a beautiful Victorian estate called Windy Corner but also including a substantial portion of the real estate of the whole town. As she gets to know the town¿s eccentric inhabitants¿including her own once-and-possibly-future love, Sheriff Luke Richards¿she learns of a covert plan to develop Stony Beach into a major resort. She also hears hints that her aunt may have been murdered. Soon another suspicious death confirms this, and before long Emily herself experiences a near-fatal accident. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, Emily reads \u003ci\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/i\u003e, hoping to find belated happiness with her first love as Anne Elliot did with Captain Wentworth. She notices a similarity between her not-quite-cousin Brock Runcible, heir to a smaller portion of her aunt¿s property, and Mr. Elliot in \u003ci\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/i\u003e, and her suspicions of Brock crystallize. But as she and Luke continue to investigate and events speed toward a climax, Emily realizes that underneath the innocent-looking rocks of Stony Beach lurk festering jealousies that would have shocked even the worst of Jane Austen¿s charming reprobates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e©2016 Katherine Bolger Hyde (P)2016 Blackstone Audio, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116787384560,"sku":"2940169606614","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169606614_p0.jpg?v=1769897373","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169606614","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
