Books in the Gwen Andrews Mystery series

Not all invitations deliver the fun they promise. In late October, amateur sleuth Gwen Andrews isn't expecting to be drawn into yet another suspicious death investigation. As weekend guests of her sister Tess's college roommate, they ride the ferry to Nantucket, anticipating a Halloween costume party, great food, and scintillating conversation. The fun soon disintegrates when the body of a woman who'd accused their hostess of an affair with her husband is discovered early the next morning on the beach below their hostess' home, and she's quickly labeled a person of interest. When it becomes apparent that the Nantucket police department is short-staffed, Gwen enlists her sleuthing partner and friend... retired detective Ben Snowcrest... to join the investigation. As they search for clues to determine whether the woman's death was an accident or something more sinister, Gwen battles the attraction between herself and Ben, fully aware that the ghost of her beloved husband Parker is waiting in the wings.
