Misfortune

The Belinda & Bennett Mysteries #5

by Amy Saunders

What do an old recluse, a new heiress, and an obsession with Egypt have in common? Portside, of course. And Belinda Kittridge. In an attempt to help a woman who inherited a fortune from a total stranger, Belinda and Bennett get caught in the middle of a deadly struggle. The matter is complicated by a new detective who doesn’t play well with amateur sleuths. And Belinda’s visiting cousin wants in on the action–and danger. Battling self-doubt, and fear that death threats will become realities, Belinda looks to her friends, and a couple frenemies, to dig to the bottom of a family full of secrets. It will take their combined efforts to unmask a killer–and a decades-old mystery.

About the author

Hello! And thanks for checking out my books! I've written two mystery novels so far. My first, Dead Locked, is about Imogen Bell who works for a team of underwater archaeologists and ends up embroiled in a deadly treasure hunt. My second mystery, The Jester's Apprentice, is about Philippa, a woman caught between her new husband Edric and his smoky past - and hers.

I've always loved mysteries, even in elementary school. My mother raised me on TV show reruns like Murder, She Wrote, Matlock, and Magnum, P.I, and later I picked up her Agatha Christie addiction.

However, sometimes I just want a hot (but intelligent) guy and a strong woman bantering for pages. Or a gripping action sequence. Or some fun sci-fi/fantasy elements. And sometimes I want it all in the same book. So with mystery as the backbone of my stories, I blend in romance, action, adventure, and soon sci-fi to keep it fresh and exciting.

Why should you take a chance on my books? Well, I write what I'm passionate about, and I'm passionate about people and mysteries. I make my characters passionate too: about each other, about what they're hunting, fixing, or piecing together. Above all, I want my readers to have fun, and leave happy!

Enjoy!
Amy
