Murder strikes again at Moorecliff Manor and this time the stakes are higher than they have ever been. Araminta’s good friend, the famous jeweler Bertie Belamie, has been murdered in the mudroom and Jacob is the prime suspect. Why was Bertie in the mudroom with his case of jewels and why is Jacob so close-mouthed about it? Why is Bertie’s assistant, Stella, so vague about which pieces of jewelry are missing? And is it any coincidence that the neighborhood crime boss, Stephen Roy and his fiancée Vivianne were in the house at the time of the murder? With Ivan off the case and Jacob’s freedom on the line, it’s up to Araminta and her mystery solving siamese cats, Arun and Sasha, to find the killer!
