The Mystery of the Missing Heiress
A historic Small Town Cozy MysteryBy Winnie Prescott
Length2h 13m
About this audiobook
Mud season has arrived in Maple Creek, Vermont, but the spring sludge conceals a $15 million fortune built on lies.
Former journalist Clara Bennett is running the local café and Gazette when a stranger in a cream coat walks in. Vivian Ashford has returned to claim a forgotten 1988 trust. She looks identical to the long-lost heiress, yet harbors a chilling suspicion: her own birth certificate is a clever forgery.
When a mysterious man in a gray overcoat shadows Vivian, Clara realizes secrets from decades past are closing in. To find the real heir, she must trace a dangerous paper trail stretching from New Hampshire to Nova Scotia. But someone will stop at nothing to protect the fraud—including murder.
Clara must expose the truth before the architect of the scheme decides the only good witness is a dead one.
High-stakes fraud and cold-case secrets collide in this captivating fifth Maple Creek mystery.
