The Resort Mysteries. Uncle Jack Book 1

Cazzie Norton, a middle aged author of mystery novels, and her best friend Jimmy Flood leave their homes in Sydney for the seaside town of Shore Haven. Uncle Jack has left The Resort to her in his Will. All they know is that it has been abandoned for many years. If they had known what lay ahead, would they have continued on? They find The Resort-an array of cottages perched atop a headland overlooking the perfect beach on one side, and mountains on the other. They love it instantly and decide to stay and restore it in memory of her uncle Jack who left her everything. That night, following solicitors' instructions, they open the large envelope Cazzie has carried with her to discover that Uncle Jack didn't just die. He had been missing for 10 years and was eventually declared dead. What happened to him? Who was he? She hardly knew him. Why did he leave everything to her in his Will?
