Secrets In Deep Water Bay
(2026)(The fifth book in the International Foodie Mystery series)
A novel by Ann Rose
An estranged father. A missing crown jewel. And a death on the ninth hole. What do they have in common?
My first paid case. Sort of.
Following a clue about my father's last-known location, Reed and I head to Hong Kong, thinking this trip is all about healing family trauma.
We couldn't be more wrong.
Our welcome dinner at the Deep Water Bay Golf Club ends with a shouting match between two of Hong Kong's most prominent families. Then we get an offer we can't refuse—find Empress Dowager Cixi's lost crown jewel for Macau's most powerful man, who claims to be our biggest fan.
Finally, a paying gig! Except our potential client runs a crime syndicate. Saying no to the mob? Generally not a good idea.
Reed and I stay up all night debating our options. Before we can decide, a body turns up on the ninth hole at dawn. The victim? The man who had intel on my father's whereabouts.
So here we go, again. Chasing dead leads, dodging a mob boss who thinks we're Indiana Jones, and untangling a family mystery that's been buried for generations. Turns out, my estranged father and that priceless jewel have more in common than I ever imagined.
Grandma always said I could survive any mess I whipped up. Pretty sure this one's the winner. A real recipe for disaster.
Secrets in Deep Water Bay continues Megan and Reed's international adventures with the Miller-Prescott signature banter, a treasure hunt that takes their sleuth skills to new heights. And of course, dim sum worth dying for.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
