Is it murder if there is no body?

Alicia Highmere is heading home, back to Musgrave Landing after a call from her mother’s care home. Accompanied by her bodyguard, Bryce Graham, Alicia won’t know until she gets there that Olivia Frost-Highmere is manipulating events regarding the estranged family members to suit her agenda.

Part of the reason the family has fallen out is due to the disappearance of Allister Highmere, some twenty years ago. Alicia’s father vanished without a trace upsetting the family company and leaving the seat of CEO vacant. Uncle Hugo had his eye on the power seat and accused Olivia of murder to get it, but is it murder if there’s no body?

When a corpse is discovered in the family cemetery, where there shouldn’t be one, the cold case regarding Allister Highmere is reopened. Alicia has no idea who in the family or the Highmere estate staff is involved, but she will find out.

Delightful mystery with quirky characters
This was a delightful mystery. Cleverly written and really fun to try and figure out. A well written cozy with quirky characters and a surprising conclusion. Well done. Lilli

Yvonne's story is an excellent mystery - great characters (adored Arlie - a secondary character with spirit). I was captivated, everything plausible with a creative twist for the who-done-it.
