The Fatal Heirloom

A Michelle Cartier Cozy Mystery

STOLEN CHINA, BURIED SECRETS, AND A MYSTERIOUS BRIDE

While researching a heritage-themed wedding, planner Michelle Cartier spots a “lost” heirloom china set in a museum photo—identical to one she’s seen in old pictures from the night Daniel Murphy died at the bottom of the stairs.

Using wedding research as her excuse—and with her adorable puppy Goldie in tow—Michelle starts asking questions around Rock’s Point, uncovering secrets long buried.

Curator Byron Thompson admits the china has “complicated provenance”—but did he know it was stolen?

Eric Cox profits as the new community center owner after the Murphy family flees town.

Event coordinator Delilah Morris argued with Daniel the night he died—and treats Michelle with open hostility.

A tattoo in old photos points to the infamous Swallowtail burglar—and the evidence van robbery tied to Daniel’s death.

Now Michelle’s questions have made her a target… and the next funeral in Rock’s Point could be hers.
