Author Judy Murray to sign ‘Peril in the Pool House’ June 8

“Peril in the Pool House” author Judy Murray will take part in a signing event from 3 to 5 p.m., Saturday, June 8, at Browseabout Books, 133 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach. 

A bed and breakfast grand opening is creating quite a stir. Real estate agent Helen Morrisey sold the neglected Victorian to state senatorial 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, just 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. Why would someone want this woman dead?

“Peril in the Pool House” is the third book in Murray’s award-winning Chesapeake Bay Mystery Series.
