Revenge by Ruby
(2021)(The third book in the Emma Goldsmith Mystery series)
A novel by Jenny Andersen
She loved rubies more than life… even her own.
Gemologist Emma Goldsmith is thrilled to be invited to the city’s most prestigious charity function—until she stumbles across the body of a woman murdered moments before in the ladies’ room.
A woman who had just publicly accused Emma of selling fake stones.
Ruby Chantal, wife of one of Emma’s best customers, is the quintessential woman with a thousand enemies. She masquerades as a generous, loving philanthropist, but those close to her know that under the kind exterior lies a ruby-obsessed narcissist. Was she killed by a fair-weather friend who envied her jewels? By her husband, who was being run into bankruptcy by her thirst for rubies? By Emma—or worse, by Tony, in his daughter’s defense?
Emma knows she and her father are innocent, but how can the police identify the murderer when so many in the genteel world of charity money hated Ruby enough to kill her?
Genre: Cozy Mystery
