Description
In her follow up to the highly successful The Empty Chair ~ Murder in the Caribbean, national award-winning author Penny Goetjen engages readers in another captivating escapade, this time on the rocky coast of Maine. Set in a seemingly warm and cozy inn, Murder on the Precipice depicts the story of a missing female guest with eerie similarities to an unsolved disappearance years earlier when the property was used as an all-girls school.
Family obligations force Manhattan interior designer Elizabeth Pennington to put the big city in her rearview mirror and return to the inn, her childhood home where, in a tragic twist of fate, she lost her parents at a tender age. Faced with her grandmother’s failing health strained by the pressures of running the family business, Elizabeth navigates treacherous waters to save the inn from a killer in their midst. But in her search for answers as a deadly hurricane barrels up the coast, she uncovers details that question everything she thought she knew about herself, her family and her past.

Solid and athmospheric murder mystery. I liked it and will likely read the first novel by this author.
(I received an ARC via NetGalley.)
Anthony C, Reviewer
I was immediately attracted to the cover. We see Elizabeth in the middle of the night looking towards an illuminated tower.
The story tells us about the life of Elizabeth architect at Manathan. She grew up in an inn and returns there thanks to the invitation of her grandmother. Once she arrives at the top, she learns that a young woman has disappeared, she finds similarities to an investigation that occurred years earlier. She will seek answers to this disappearance and save the inn from her childhood. Except that the more she goes forward in her search, the more she will learn about her past, her family.
A moving and captivating story. I read this book in one go. Elizabeth's character is endearing. Look forward to reading another book by this author with potential.
