A Books by the Bay Mystery
BY ELLERY ADAMS
ABOUT THE BOOK:
When Olivia Limoges and other Oyster Bay patrons of the
arts sponsor a retreat for famous storytellers, one of them
is going to have a very unhappy ending...
Olivia thought gathering some of the most renowned storytellers in one place would be a nice, simple way for herself and the Bayside Book Writers to appreciate their talents. But things take a dark turn when the most famous storyteller in the nation—the captivating performer Violetta Devereaux—announces onstage that she will meet her end in Oyster Bay.
When Violetta is discovered murdered after the show, everyone involved with the retreat becomes a suspect. There are rumors that Violetta, who grew up in extreme poverty in the Appalachian Mountains, possessed an invaluable treasure. Now Chief Rawlings and the Bayside Book Writers must work at a frenzied pace to solve the crime before someone closes the book on them.

It sounds like Oyster Bay is a small town. I wonder what treasure Violetta could have possessed.
