She went looking for buried treasure. What she found was far more sinister.
Discover your new favorite amateur sleuth!
Wendy Grace has just retired after thirty years of teaching grade school. She and her second husband, James, have moved to the tiny town of Wandering Cove on the idyllic Oregon coast and are looking forward to filling the second half of their lives with new adventures. But Wendy did not expect that those new adventures would include murder!
On a seemingly bucolic Saturday afternoon, Wendy heads out with a local metal detector and shipwreck historian to try her hand at metal detecting on the beach right by her new home. As the historian regales Wendy with stories of the local shipwreck and its legendary lost treasure, Wendy is prepared to find the ubiquitous bottle caps, dropped coins, and maybe a lost bit of jewelry. What she ultimately discovers, however, is far more sinister.
While working on the challenge of identifying the victim, Wendy quickly digs up more long-buried secrets than anyone expected.
X Marks the Murder is the first in the new Wendy Grace mysteries series. Readers who love the stories of MC Beaton, Elin Hilderbrand, TE Kinsey, Louise Penny, and Ann Cleeves will love Wendy Grace.
