What would you do?

Are you curious by nature? If you're a mystery writer and/or a mystery reader, I'd be willing to bet you are.

So, what would you do if you were taking a solitary walk on the beach early one morning and you found the body of a young woman?

Would you scream and possibly go into shock? Would you look over your shoulder, afraid the killer was close by and you might be his next victim? Then, would you rush to call the authorities?

But, what if you'd met and liked the victim? Would you take it a step further, deciding to do a little investigating of your own?

That's exactly what happened to Ann Malone Kern, the main character in Mistaken Identity. But, as Ann, her sister, Marnie, and their senior friend, Clara, begin their investigation, they discover an interesting fact about the victim. She isn't who they'd thought she was.

My Vacation Photos

Last week, I talked about my vacation to Ocean City, Maryland and how getting away helped me to put my life in perspective. My friend, Jan, and I traveled through six states: Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. As promised, here are a few photos from the trip.

If you're longing to go to the beach. . .

Ann feels like she’s in Paradise as she digs her toes into the soft, white sand and gazes out at the ocean. She’s looked forward to this vacation in South Carolina for a long time and all she wants to do now is bask in the sun, resting and relaxing. To preserve the memories, she plans to take pictures of all that she sees.

She and her two young children are enjoying their time on Fripp Island with Ann’s sister, Marnie. The night of the fourth of July fireworks, Marnie introduces Ann to Clara Brunner, a long time resident with a vast knowledge of the island and the people who live there.

But Ann’s peaceful vacation is disrupted when she goes for a solitary walk on the beach and  something shiny catches her eye. She’s horrified when she discovers the body of a young woman with a gold locket twisted around her neck. To make matters worse, she knows who the locket belongs to.

Ann feels an obligation to discover the identity of the killer and to see them brought to justice. She convinces Marnie and Clara to join her in launching their own investigation but, in the process, she places her own life in jeopardy.
