What Lies Beneath ebook
Invitation to Trouble
Sometimes it seems like Ellery Page, Pirate Cove’s handsome and surprisingly sharp-witted owner of the Crow’s Nest bookstore (not to mention the village’s reigning Scrabble champ and occasional amateur sleuth), never misses and opportunity to get himself into trouble.
So, when Police Chief Jack Carson hears his favorite bookseller has been invited to the annual Marauder’s Masquerade, the island’s most anticipated social event, he’s not entirely surprised. Or thrilled. Ellery’s got a way of attracting attention, too often from people potentially dangerous to his health. Like Julian Bloodworth, the last descendent of the notorious Captain Blood.
Since Jack has made it more than clear that he’s not interested in anything more than friendship with Ellery, it’s hard to understand why Julian’s obvious interest in Ellery bothers him so much. Or maybe not, because before the Masquerade is over, Marguerite’s husband is murdered, and Julian, the prime suspect, calls upon Ellery for help.
