A Gem of a Problem

By Irene Sauman

A death. An inheritance. A problem to solve.

Emma Berry isn't content to carry the blame for someone else's misdemeanour so whatever she does - such as investigating the matter herself - had better be done on the quiet to avoid further recriminations. Pity that the one member of her family who knows what she's about doesn't agree, but they'll come round in the end. Won't they? It's just that the possibility of losing the family farm can make some people feel, well, a little uncertain.

And then again, her task would be a lot easier if the co-owner of the paddle steamer she's inherited fifty-percent of was more supportive too. But he, unfairly, also blames Emma for what has befallen them. So it's just as well she knows she's perfectly capable of carrying on alone regardless. After all how hard can it be to locate a missing emerald necklace that was last seen on that paddle steamer as it sank beneath the waters of the Murray, with her co-owner's brother at the wheel?

A Gem of a Problem is Book #2 in the Emma Berry Mystery series. If you enjoy historical cozy mysteries with friendship and family, and a touch of romance, you'll love Irene Sauman's outback adventure.
