Murder Runs in the Family

Amber thought she had troubles before her grandma was arrested for murder…
Former PI-in-training Amber Winslow has decided to flee her life in the dead of night, carrying nothing but the clothes on her back. Down on her luck and with no other choice, she heads to the sunny state of Arizona to the luxury accommodations of her grandmother’s retirement community. Never mind that Amber’s never actually met her estranged and eccentric Grandma Jade.
As soon as she sneaks her things into Seven Ponds (a place she technically doesn’t qualify for and definitely can’t afford), she’s shocked to learn that George Vincent, a.k.a. the Admiral, was found dead the very night of her arrival. What’s even more shocking is that no one seems particularly distraught over the news of the Admiral’s death or the disappearance of his prize pet tortoise. All anyone can talk about is a missing Vincent family heirloom, and they’re quick to blame Jade for both the Admiral’s murder and the theft of the priceless ring.
Amber doesn’t want to admit the woman she’s just met—and who accepted her without question—could be behind the Admiral's death, and she’s determined to clear her grandmother’s name no matter the cost.

Enjoyable Murder Mystrey

The story was good but what was so incredibly distracting from the plot was that the character Jade called her granddaughter “child” in pretty much every sentence. The story is set is present time but present time people don’t call their loved ones “child.” It really pulled me out of the story. How about: honey, sweetheart, dear or just Amber??

So.Much.Fun!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the clever story, the wide assortment of distinctly developed characters, and an outstanding performance by the cast!

Very Enjoyable

Absolutely a bash. Loved it, All the characters and the plot and the characters history & backgrounds came together in a very amusing way. I also really liked the “Death Comes Calling” Podcast episode snippets. Extra kudos to narrator Hillary Huber. Excellent work!
