Murder beyond the Precipice

Set in a deceptively tranquil harbor town on the coast of Maine, Murder beyond the Precipice tells the story of the Livingston family who is no stranger to tragedy. Losing both parents at a young age in what authorities ruled an accident, Lucretia Livingston, the sole heir to the estate, is left to pick up the pieces. But many locals question the circumstances surrounding their deaths and if the family's wealth was an irresistibly seductive motive for crossing the line.
Elizabeth Pennington returns to the coast of Maine after receiving an unexpected wedding invitation. Hoping to surprise her friend, she arrives unannounced at the Livingston Estate-turned-inn, only to discover no one knows her whereabouts. Just as disconcerting is the disappearance of the innkeeper's young bride, Lucretia. Frantic for answers, Elizabeth becomes tangled in a tortured trail of deception, betrayal, love lost and murder.
Murder beyond the Precipice is the follow-up novel to Murder on the Precipice that earned gold in the Human Relations Indie Book Awards for Contemporary Realistic Fiction.
