About this book:

In the tranquil New England town of Wickford, the esteemed Ashby family's legacy is irrevocably tied to the legendary Blue Ashby Brooch, a dazzling sapphire rumored to bring both fortune and misfortune. As guardian of this cherished heirloom, antiques dealer Corinne Ashby prided herself on protecting both the jewel and her family's fragile peace. But when the brooch vanishes mysteriously from a locked safe during a tense family gathering, Corinne's carefully curated world shatters, revealing a labyrinth of buried grievances, simmering resentments, and shocking secrets that threaten to unravel the very fabric of the Ashby name.

What begins as a puzzling theft quickly escalates into a dangerous game of cat and mouse, forcing Corinne to question everything she thought she knew about loyalty and trust. With each family member harboring a potential motive, Corinne finds herself embroiled in an investigation that leads her from the hushed archives of the Wickford Historical Society to the shadowed corners of her own father's past. As cryptic messages and targeted break-ins reveal a chilling connection to a decades-old, unsolved murder within the Ashby lineage, Corinne must navigate treacherous alliances—including a fraught partnership with her enigmatic rival, Alexander Vance—to uncover a truth far more sinister than a missing jewel. "The Disappearing Heirloom" is a gripping mystery that delves into the dark underbelly of family secrets, where the pursuit of truth exposes the devastating price of privilege, deceit, and a legacy built on lies.
