Publisher's Synopsis
A charity auction, an antique heirloom, and a body on the beach-Elle Harper's got a mystery on her hands (again).
Cornelia Cove's social queen, Melissa Savoy, was all about reputation-until hers ended up six feet under. When Elle Harper finds her washed up on the beach after a high-profile charity event at The Velvet Anchor, it's clear someone in town wanted her silenced. Between an antique brooch no one was supposed to bid on, a mysterious veiled woman who knew too much, and a suspect list that reads like a who's who of small-town drama, Elle and her Swift Justice Club are back on the case. But as the secrets pile up and the town's gossip mill goes into overdrive, Elle starts to wonder-was Melissa hiding skeletons, or was she collecting them? With nosy neighbors, a golden retriever who has better instincts than the local sheriff, and a club full of amateur detectives who refuse to mind their own business, Elle's got her hands full. Can she solve the case before her own reputation takes a deadly hit? If you love cozy mysteries with snark, small-town scandals, and just the right amount of Swiftie chaos, grab a margarita and dive into Death by Reputation!
