nAmber thought she had troubles before her grandma was arrested for murder...n nFormer PI-in-training Amber Winslow has decided to flee her life in the dead of night, carrying nothing but the clothes on her back. Down on her luck and with no other choice, she heads to the sunny state of Arizona to the luxury accommodations of her grandmothers retirement community. Never mind that Ambers never actually met her estranged and eccentric Grandma Jade.n nAs soon as she sneaks her things into Seven Ponds (a place she technically doesnt qualify for and definitely cant afford), shes shocked to learn that George Vincent, a.k.a. the Admiral, was found dead the very night of her arrival. Whats even more shocking is that no one seems particularly distraught over the news of the Admirals death or the disappearance of his prize pet tortoise. All anyone can talk about is a missing Vincent family heirloom, and theyre quick to blame Jade for both the Admirals murder and the theft of the priceless ring.n nAmber doesnt want to admit the woman shes just met--and who accepted her without question--could be behind the Admirals death, and shes determined to clear her grandmothers name no matter the cost.n
