Panning for Murder

Nominated for a Scribe Award, this novel in the "Murder, She Wrote" series is out in both paperback and Kindle editions. Jessica had planned a leisurely Alaskan cruise to rest and regenerate. But when the sister of a Cabot Cove friend disappears from a cruise ship in Alaska, Jess is persuaded to include her friend on her cruise in the hope of tracking down the sister. Alaska's most famous brothel owner from the days of the Gold Rush (a distant relative of the sisters) had allegedly hidden a stash of gold, and the missing sister had hoped to find it. Along with Alaska's stunning vistas and abundant wildlife, Jessica encounters wildlife of a different sort--a smooth con man, a vicious killer, and an adventure she'll not soon forget.
