Blind Man's Bluff (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088157664)

Be careful what you wish for-it could lead to murder.

Kindergarten teacher, Gwen McPhail, is teaching children of former students with her eyes closed, wishing something would happen... Change roars in on a tidal wave when Vance Jones dies and names her his beneficiary.

A stunned Gwen comes to Candle Island to check out her inheritance, but the clannish Islanders hate her guts, the widow tags her as "the other woman," and the dead guy who left her the mansion was a creep.

Gwen's up to her neck in inconsistencies and can't swallow the "accidental death" line. Her rugged care taker, Scotty, is protecting her from someone. Is it his cousin, Dot, the bitter widow? The bullied son, Ron, who's hamstrung by his father's will? Or is the murderer Scotty, himself? The truth may kill her, but she's dying to find out.

Gwen has lost her heart to Candle Island but knows she's rubbing elbows with a murderer. She faces the heartbreaking choice of doing the right thing and being hated for it, or protecting a fragile soul in trouble. Life on the playground never got this serious, and this time a kiss on the boo-boo won't make it all better.

Blind Man's Bluff is a clever cozy mystery packed with sarcastic humor, salty characters, and plot twists. Set in the pressure cooker of a coastal island community, it'll keep you guessing until the very end.
