Pacific Beach — Nancy Jill Thames

The quaint surfing town of Pacific Beach becomes a destination for murder when a young starlet and her mother die a brutal death at the Pacific Terrace hotel where Jillian's family reunion is taking place. The reunion takes a terrifying turn when Jillian's nephew finds himself arrested as the prime suspect. Jillian must move quickly to find the real killer and prove her nephew's innocence. There is no shortage of suspects, including an unsavory doctor who attended the popular teen star and a mysterious guest at the party where the starlet dies. But why does someone kill her mother in another room the same night? Working at Jillian's side to find the perpetrator of these bizarre killings are her faithful assistant Cecilia Montoya, and Teddy, Jillian's Yorkie companion who sniffs out his own clue.
