Murder on the Beach

A strangled girl washes up on the beach. She's a billionaire's daughter, murdered at her own birthday party. Her oldest brother is the primary suspect. This investigation is convoluted from the beginning. Magnificent Louise Summerfield, normally called Maggie, is sixteen years old and has been investigating crimes for years. This is how she's wired. On an early morning walk on the beach, Maggie finds the body of a teenage girl who has been strangled, but the complexities of investigating this murder are obvious because of the girl's expensive party dress, her premium smart watch and her exotic gold and diamond bracelet, evidence of rich and powerful people who usually don't allow close scrutiny. Maggie teams up with local policewoman Frankie Driscoll who identifies Maggie's excellent skills and this unlikely duo is eventually able to cooperate with the wealthy family's corporate security team to unravel a twisted tale of bloated egos, eccentric employees and twisted family dynamics.MURDER ON THE BEACH is the first installment in the Magnificent Mysteries series and an apt introduction to a private investigator named Magnificent Summerfield and her extraordinary style of investigation, interrogation and deep personal commitment.
