Murder at the Brightwell (An Amory Ames Mystery)

Amory Ames, a wealthy young woman questioning her marriage to her notoriously charming playboy husband, Milo, is looking for a change. When she accepts a request for help from her former fiancé, Gil Trent, she does not know that she'll soon become embroiled in a murder investigation that will not only test her friendship with Gil, but will also upset the status quo with her husband.

Amory accompanies Gil to the luxurious Brightwell Hotel on the south coast of England in an attempt to prevent the marriage of his sister, Emmeline, to Rupert Howe, a disreputable ladies' man. However, it soon becomes clear there is more than her happiness at stake, when Rupert is murdered and Gil is arrested for the crime. Matters are further complicated by Milo's unexpected arrival, and as the line between friend and foe becomes increasingly blurred, Amory must decide where her heart lies and catch the killer before she, too, becomes a victim.
