Any risk is worth taking when you have this much to lose.

Estate sale organizer Audrey Nealon combines business with pleasure as she plans a sale at the exquisite beach home of the Gardner family. But the romantic getaway weekend with her husband is shattered when the body of a teenage boy washes up on the sand.

The death soon proves to be more than an unpleasant distraction from Audrey’s work. Sophia, the troubled young woman who lives next door to the Gardners, is wracked with guilt over the death of her friend. When Audrey rescues Sophia from a rash action, she is pulled into the vortex of lies and cover-ups swirling through the exclusive community of Sea Chapel, NJ. Where should Audrey place her trust - with the client who hired her or with the melodramatic Sophia, who reminds her of her teenage self.

Someone in this enclave knows how and why the boy died, but these families will close ranks to protect their own.

And they won’t hesitate to destroy an outsider like Audrey who threatens their way of life.

Audrey’s curiosity and compassion pull her into danger. Will her wit and determination be enough to restore justice? Or has Audrey met her match in this killer who has everything to lose?

5 stars

Another good book to an entertaining cozy mystery series. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one.

Mystery that’ll keep you in suspense

I couldn’t stop listening, waiting to see who the guilty party was. This was a fantastic story. The narrator did a good job telling it as well.

Great book

The reading of the book was done in such a way to fully keep your interest.

Definitely a Twisty Mystery

This is absolutely a slice of life. Grandpa's broken hip, coworkers issues, demanding deadlines, health issues and let's throw in a murder to boot on a rich ocean side community.
I really liked all the characters. I know them even if I've never been to New Jersey or know muscle like Ray Ray. Janelle Tedesco did a fine job narrating and voicing.
This book is part of a series and I read it as a stand alone book and it was fine. However I'm going to have to read book 1 to know what the deal was with Audreys mom.
Feel very comfortable recommending it. Mild violence, family planning discussions, suicide.

Another great listen

I love the narrator so i cannot fault the audiobook on the narrator. I thought she did a great job in voicing the characters and giving them there own personality.
The book itself is good but i would have liked more family drama from the MC POV. That is what I liked about the series. It's not just about the mystery but what goes on in the MC's life.
There is some profanity and a little violence but no sexual content (that all happens behind closed doors).

Treasure built of Sand

who knew that estate sales could be deadly?

When estate sale agent, Audrey Nealon, decides to make the most of a weekend with her husband at her latest estate sale location, she doesn't count on finding a body washed ashore at the beach. Could there be a connection between the dead teenager and the son of Audrey's clients? The plot will draw you in, as Audrey catalogs and prices items for the sale, she's also investigating the strange behavior of her client's neighbor. You will be shocked by the end! Great story and narration.
Looking forward to more in this series by this new-to-me author and narrator.
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Another great listen

I love this series! Lots of twists & turns to keep you going. I listen to these on my commute & find myself taking the long way to listen longer. The narrator is great at telling the story as well. Can’t wait to see what Audrey is up to next!

Treasure Built of Sand

I was drawn into this story from the very beginning. The characters are so believable and real. Not only is there the main mystery that takes an unexpected twist, but there are also many different smaller plot lines involving the secondary characters. Kudos to S.W. Hubbard for writing such and engaging and entertaining story.

Janelle Tedesco delivered another top notch performance. She really brought the story to life with the distinct character voices and impeccable timing.
