About the Book
Real Estate Rule #3: It's the rare buyer who wants to buy a haunted house.
A bed & breakfast haunted
A guest stabbed
A couple’s future in ruins
A grand opening for Captain’s Quarters Bed & Breakfast on the outskirts of the little Chesapeake Bay town of Port Anne is creating quite a stir. Real estate agent Helen Morrisey sold the neglected Victorian to state senator candidate Eliot Davies and his wife, Alison. Despite rumors of ghostly images, they’ve toiled for months to bring the painted lady back to its prime. Now, the couple is ready to celebrate and the whole town is invited.
A piercing scream cuts through the chatter as their party winds down. Helen bolts toward the pool house with her on-again, off-again love interest, Detective Joe McAlister, steps behind. A hysterical Alison is standing over the motionless body of one of their guests. A nine-inch pair of antique fishing shears juts from the woman’s back.
Helen takes in the shocked expressions of guests gathered at the pool edge. Why would someone want this woman dead? Has the tale of a ghost roaming Captain’s Watch returned to haunt Eliot and Alison? Getting involved in another local murder investigation could be the kiss of death for her relationship with Joe. Yet, she knows a murder in her friends B & B might cut their future to ribbons. Is it time to consult the expertise of her infamous Detection Club sleuths? Or should she look the other way before her own reputation is bloodied?
Peril in the Pool House is the third book in the award-winning Chesapeake Bay Mystery Series.

"Looks like we weren't the only ones here." Helen pointed at the footprints left in the coating of dust on the bare wooden floors. "Did you know this house is supposed to be haunted?"
..." Seems like you've gotten far more involved in your real estate clients' problems than the usual agent. I've been told you take no prisoners when it comes to helping people who've been wronged."
..."I'm counting on Nancy Drew for courage and a strong flashlight. Maybe I should invite Noral Charles and Agatha Raisin along. They can pour me a couple drinks to build up my courage."
